11 - Why Every Communist Country is a One-Party Dictatorship
yt.artemislena.eu
Why has every communist country so far been a one-party dictatorship? Richard Wolff can’t answer this question for some reason. Neither can Freddie de Boer. Yet the answer is very simple, and we can learn a lot from it. Is it something inherent to Marxism? Is human nature incompatible with political equality? Has “true” communism never been tried yet? If so, then why not? Watch the video and find out! ALL MUSIC BY STARSIXNINE: starsixnine.bandcamp.com https://spotify.link/x8XO9F2mkDb *PLEASE* SHARE AND LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS SERIES!!

A very interesting video from “What is politics” aims to explain why most communist revolutions happened in third-world countries, including Vietnam, and how the goal of such revolutions was actually rapid industrialization in the face of hardships imposed by imperialist powers, not communism as we commonly think.

Một video thú vị từ kênh Youtube “What is politics” với nội dung tập trung vào câu hỏi: Tại sao hầu hết các cuộc cánh mạng cộng sản trên thế giới diễn ra tập trung ở các quốc gia thuộc thế giới thứ ba, đồng thời lập luận để chứng minh luận điểm rằng mục đích chính của những cuộc cách mạng đó là đẩy nhanh sự nghiệp công nghiệp hóa trước những thách thức chính trị từ những thế lực đế quốc, chứ không phải là tiến tới chủ nghĩa cộng sản như ta thường nghĩ.
