What is NEP: Explaining Capitalism in the USSR

Great video, but why compare Lenins and Stalins Russia to post Mao China?

ComCap 🟨🟥

Stalin is staring at you

And then Stalin turned the USSR into a secret police terror state.

how do y’all only have 11k subs?!

BSM Tv'de Türkçe video olarak izlemiştim 🚩 çok teşekkürler Politsturm yoldaşlar 🚩 müthiş bir video.👍👍🚩

so NEP helped the soviet people to transfer technology controlled by the capitalists to the soviet lands and at the same time avoid wars as they were not ready again after the economic ruins resulted from the civil war .
The soviet people then started to work on industry and building factories which produce the means of productions themselves .
Wow !!! That is very impressing how a ruined nation manoeuvred to save itself and build industry from nothing .
Then comrade stalin came and completed the fight against the kulaks , discussed the idea of rapid industrialisation to have a basic industrial infrastructure for agriculture , power and military so the soviet union defends itself from the fascist germany and other imperial capitalist super powers .
The achievements of socialism in the soviet union in the different sectors tell us why comrade stalin and lenin are very hated in the western capitalist bourgeoisie speeches and books .

The Capitalism in the Ussr is not the same Capitalism in the USA. State Capitalism is a socialist idea some from of capitalism must exist in order to build the economy, However its Capitalism built by the state, not Markets like in America.

W Lenin ✊🏻❤️

The main message from this is that the dictatorship of the proletariat must make decisions that benefit the working class depending on the time, place and development of the country it is developing, even if those decisions may involve temporary capitalist elements. Is that correct? It is similar to how bourgeois states make concessions to the working class while it is in power, while the opposite occurs with proletarian states; it makes concessions to the capitalists, knowing that it will take them away once they no longer help the working class.

Very informative video! Thank you! It shows how brilliant Lenin was.

dude these vids are amazing

I'd like to sub this video in spanish but i dont see how to edit them in.

Can u do video on Holodomor?

Great video

I know this channel strong point is the soviet union but i'd really like to see a video on what mao called the state capitalist period of the prc (the first 10 years)

Under the pretext of the global "pandemic" the following goals are achieved by the largest capital (all of them are aimed at overcoming a massive economic crisis, at the heart of which lies the crisis of overproduction, in other words, what we are witnessing is Great Depression 2.0 covered up with a "deadly virus"):

- closing down plants, factories and even whole industries (i.e. slowing down the production process in order to let old products gradually dissolve and stop the production of new ones)

- downsizing workforce (because many workers are simply not needed when there is an overproduction of goods)

- killing off small and medium businesses in order to replace them on the market (this always happens during an economic crisis, a small capitalist gets eaten by a big one)

- cutting expenses on healthcare and education (millions of operations have been cancelled, medical staff has been getting laid off; schools and universities are switching to remote learning with plans to replace teachers with video lectures)

- fighting and slowing down the inevitable revolutionary uprise (protests and strikes resulting from downsizing, loss of small and medium businesses, loss of democratic rights etc) by banning social gatherings, putting muzzles on people's faces and demoralizing them

- intensifying economic exploitation (cancelling bonuses and freezing salaries; making people work overtime under the pretext of "difficult times for us all"; not paying wages for several months etc)

- inventing new sources of profit, making billions of dollars out of thin air by forcing millions of people to buy a product they don't need (surgical masks against a respiratory virus, sanitizers, gloves, vaccines etc).

Sorry Comrades, communism will never ever work. Communist systems either turn into feudal capitalist systems or fail and collapse altogether. Unlimited capitalism is also a terrible system. Both communism and capitalism only serve a small ruling elite minority while the vast majority of people are exploited and suffer.
If you want a fairer society, strive toward something actually achievable and sustainable. Social Direct Democracy, is such a system in my opinion. Well educated citizens who actively participate in the political process, brought up in a spirit of national belonging and loyalty to their country and countrymen is the foundation of the well functioning of such a system. The Scandinavian countries almost got it right. We should learn from what works and what doesn't and try to improve what works... until we get it right.

Money is power that it you can not build the USSR with a plan economy Marx was wrong very wrong the space war in the 70s and 80s prove that. USA was makeing space ships and rocket for half the price of what the USSR made in the long run USSR could keep up the USA out priced the USSR and that why it colaps. The idea need to be rethinked

Happy that the centrist faction, led by Stalin got rid of the NEP, it led to the kulaks, and could have shattered the ussr even more if it was around for any further

Thank you for making this video! I was hoping you would eventually create a video explaining Lenin's New Economic Policy. Keep up the good work comrade!

Hey, amazing video comrades! But could you maybe put more statistics on screen as you pronounce them? It would really make this a lot easier to follow in my opinion :)

Interesting. To me, the quote from Stalin at the end of the video seems to indicate a favor for a kind of inverse of the modern Social Democracy. Social Democrats seem to advocate for a kind of 'tamed' Capitalist State with a functioning Socialist program, whereas Stalin views the NEP as creating a strong Socialist state with minor capitalism to facilitate small scale trade and industry. Am I interpreting this correctly?

Finally an in depth video on the NEP! Also loving your dig at Dengists in the end tbh.
At this point i'd suggest for you to do some video on the switch from NEP to full planning in the future

now I'm left wanting to know more about what happened next, while I will research it through Stalin's literature I'd nonetheless love to watch a video from you about the first 5 year plans!

A brilliant video as allways :)

wasn't expecting this to be a video, this was an awesome surprise!

Good explanation 👍

A very well-made video Comrades

In relation to the NEP, on could bring up several points of intrest, wich we could talk about, and i, in particular, found the part about the "left" opposition from Trotsky and Zinoviev to be fairly intresting. However, i think that a subject, that would be of equel intrest, would be the "right" opposition from the likes of Bukharin; On how there where elements that saw it beneficial to continue the NEP over an even longer periode of time, On what the nature of such statements are, and on how and why we can make sure that a potentiel modern NEP (if such a thing is even recuried) results in a Triumph of socialism, like the CCCP, and not a capitulation to reaktionary capitalisme, like the CPC and the PRC.

Enyhow, that is just food for thoughts, and i look foward to what you come up with next

The NEP had many pros and cons and however it was necessary for the development of then feudalist Russia.

Respected sir,
I admire your efforts. But I have certain disagreements with you. I particularly disagree with your assessment of cultural revolution.
I would recommend you read writings of Dongping Han, Mobo Gao, Joan Robinson, Charles Bettelheim and the documentary how yukong moved the mountains.
