  1. Capitalist globalism: Build fence, so you can check who comes, while you let them in. Communist internationalism: Build fence, so one one can leave.

  2. >People cared for each other, helped each other, and had everything they needed to live a good but not Luxurius life. They shot people for trying to leave.

  7. They also did for enlightened reasons, though. Say what you want about commies, but they are fairly good when it comes to sex and religion.

  8.  @anvutrong6870  Might have to do with the North murdering or re-educating all of their opposition.

  9. Feudalism vs Liberalism. Fascism vs Liberalism. Communism vs Liberalism. ... Next is Islam vs Liberalism and Nationalism vs Liberalism. I know where I put my money. Democracies might pussy out of wars, but democracy triumphs in the long run.

  12. @Mazdina Hero There is no comment simple enough not to be completely misunderstood by someone on youtube. What do you think I wanted to say?

  13. It is absolutely despicable how you invalidate the entire existence of Vietnamese people, who did not want to be ruled by the north vietnamese communists.

  14.  @hectorcm2063  The border to West Germany was also fortified with mines, dogs, guards, etc.

  15. >to be engaged as much as possible with sports for their own good Soviet countries are notorious for training plans that damage most of the people following them, being only concerned with finding the elite that will lead to Olympic medals. The GDR pumped their female athletes full of testosterone, which is where all of those medals came from. >About how housing was easy and cheap. 1/4th of the population fled the country and housing where you don't want to live is always cheap. >Technologically and logistically wise, they were also ahead of many surrounding countries and dare I say even more than west Germany. That 1) doesn't mean anything and 2) is so hilariously absurd that I begin to think you're a troll. >a sexual revolution taking place because class wasn't an issue I bet there is hundreds of pages of socialist philosophy arguing that point, lol. Anyways we have nude beaches now, all without torturing people for disagreeing.

  16. It's pretty much impossible to make everything about your state bad even if you tried. Everything wasn't bad about Nazi Germany or Imperial Germany or the Holy Roman Empire.

  17. Fighting for your homeland is 100% bad when your homeland is industrially murdering people.

  18. @Alexander Storm What does that mean "holding a grudge"? The Nazi party would have done absolutely NOTHING, zero, nada if they hadn't had the entire Germany military and beaurocratic state behind them.

  19. It was retreat, but not tactical.

  20. The Baath party was secularist, but Saddam wasn't. The guy claimed to have a quran written in his own blood and constantly talked about God.

  21. The Soviets did, because they were in a really bad situation as well, but the Western Allies tried to build up Germany pretty early in fear of socialism.

  22. So you think allowing democratic opposition and discontinuing a war when it stops being backed by the population, is "losing"? Being stubborn and tyrannical is winning? Well in the end, democracy won, despite of the tendency of democratic countries to discontinue wars.

  23. They had to keep people in their country by threatening to shoot them. They literally were running out of people.

  24. My father lived in Nazi Germany and life wasn't that bad.

  25.  @hauntingspectreineurope4530  "Work" ie, they literally had to shoot their own citizens to keep them from leaving. I don't even know how an ideology could possibly fail harder than that.

  26.  @birb1368  It's not "trust me bro", the communists themselves literally documented how their idiotic policies killed millions. Plenty of people had an amazing life in Nazi Germany - doesn't make it a great country.

  27. They should have nuked the Soviets. : 3

  28. Actually they failed without losing.

  29.  @кто-то-б2г  I can't think of any other instance in which people were shot as a rule for leaving a country. That seems to be a socialist thing.

  30. None of those people ever considers that the Vietnamese might not all want to be ruled by communist dictators it seems.

  32.  @hasyhConfetti  Those people die in the desert trying to go INTO a capitalist country. Meanwhile the GDR citizens were MURDERED INTENTIONALLY BY THE COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT for trying to LEAVE. So what the USA is guilty of is being too attractive and having a desert border. That's a massive own goal, commie.

  33. They gave up because of internal resistance. In a way they "lost", because the USA was a democracy allowing disagreement, while the USSR wasn't.

  34.  @antonsupov4294  How many people are now fleeing out of Germany?

  35. Because only the North and the Vietkong are Vietnamese?

  36.  @duylai2224  Of course people, who don't want to be ruled by communist dictators, are not vietnamese...

  38. "Self determination" = being ruled by communist dictators? Well I see that the brainwashing has worked out. You identify the dictatorship with all of Vietnam. I rather have a puppet government, under which I am free than a puppet government, which wants to control my every thought.

  39.  @nhatphan7931  That's what every ten year old believes. Getting over the "America is bad" stage is a part of ones youth.

  40.  @frankscott1860  It's funny how important the position of that apostrophe is. You are not for self determination of the ibdividual. To hell with that. You are for the self determination of a people - whatever that means.

  41. How is "escaping" even a win when you're a squatter? The point of squatting is to stay where you are, you don't want to escape.
