  1. To be honest, what is the difference? A Commission is normally a body (Group/organization) put in charge of a specific state task. A Commissariat is pretty much the same thing. If you just look up the definitions for the term Commission a vast majority are administrative uses.

  2.  @standupaddict94  They had access to outside markets though. Any failure or short coming could easily be made up with trade. Central Europe did not have this option during the Great War. TIK in one of his earlier videos brought up a good example of this when the UK put crop production under national control during WWII, and crop yields and over all production went down instead of up. UK didn't starve during WWII did it? No, she had imports to fill the gaps. Also yes they "DID" Socialism. I brought it up before on other videos in the comment sections, but no nation on this planet is purely Socialist, nor are they Capitalist, they all fall somewhere between the two. Even the USA a nation often pointed at for it's Capitalism is filled with examples of Socialism, even today. Point being though, when the state messes with fields it shouldn't touch, agriculture being a good example, mismanagement, or incompetence can lead to utter disaster, definitely during situations when you're nation is a closed economy, whether forced by outside powers (embargos) or within. Good example recently was Wuhan China. People were starving, and the state refused to allow local farmers to sell produce in the city, and even directly confiscated it by force when they tried. Because despite what some say China isn't Capitalist. Food situations in China are so bad that when the state brought the price of Pork down to 50% in the City of Wuhan the local stores that actually sold Pork didn't have the stock to last even a single morning with such cheap prices as the only people in the city who normally could afford Pork are the middle class/wealth of the city. There is a reason China has Blackmarkets, and ally way food markets that sell rat, dog, bats and just about any meat Poachers just outside the city can get their hands on. Once you get away from the wealthier areas of China's cities, it starts looking like North Korea.

  3.  @PutasZG  No where near as bad as when a historian spits out that the P51 was the best plane of WWII, or that a Tiger Tank could be killed only by being shot in the ass. TIK actually does research instead of vomiting WWII memes like most other channels. Willing Criticizes things he finds odd, or wrong. The only one that seems to really come close is The Time Ghost team but they're an entire group, doing roughly what TIK does alone. TIK also already stated that historians and researchers are bias, which included himself in said statement. Also honestly, I don't see where the complaint is at. The state manipulated it's agriculture to bad results. While under the control of a Commissariat, or a Commission, whichever you like the call it. Even if either of the two terms were not used, it was a Socialism over reach, which lead to stereotypical state mismanagement, and suffering.

  4.  Mock Harris  Ya, to an extent you can say they are. But it's like saying there are no true Socialist States, or Capitalist States. They're almost all even the USSR were to an extent somewhere between, rather than being absolutes. USSR still had some privately owned farms for example as their attempts to collectives farms failed pretty badly. China still has private property. Mean while the USA has a lot of Socialist style Social programs. France still has private small business yet most major industries are state controlled. etc etc
