@@___-yy8ud What’s communism? Certain businesses would be owned by the state and they distribute land? That seems good to me. I would say that communism is better than capitalism. It doesn’t make sense that some people make over 100 k$ and up to 180 k$ per year such as doctors and lawyers. It’s just too exaggerated. Or, they have to pay a lot more taxes. Apparently, in the USA, some people go bankrupt when they have health problems. That’s just silly. Healthcare should not be treated as a business. Not everything can be run as a business. Everyone should get equal treatment, from babies to the very old. If a company is building a bridge, we can’t allow them to cut corners. Again, this is a case where the state needs to have tight control over the operation. Apparently in Texas, their power corporation is privately owned and they did not spend money to strengthen their system and millions of people were left without power during a cold blast. Then, some top official bought a place ticket to go to Mexico and makes some silly excuse that it is to accompany his daughter and friend.
Cruz left before they knew how bad the storm was going to be, tovarisch. And read some basic history on the Holodomor and the Soviet body count before you make yourself look even more irrational. FFS, this isn't that difficult.
@@burningdaylights Yes, that was his name Cruz. His full name is Ted Cruz. There is an article titles at the BBC, Texas Senator Ted Cruz has attempted to defend taking a family trip to Mexico amid a winter storm that left millions in his state without power and water. Ted Cruz. What a great patriot! There is a difference between communism and Soviet Russia. I think that the rich elite of the USA used the fact that Soviet Russia was an unpleasant place to live to discourage the population from demanding better conditions for themselves. Since Soviet Russia closed down churches and executed a lot of priests, they also used that to suggest that communism was bad. Keep in mind that the USA is a highly religious country. Look at North Korea. Kim Hung Ill looks like a madman. Look at China. They covered up the COVID-19 and dumped the doctor who disagreed with them in jail. So, there are currently no communist countries that would serve as a good model. I know about the Holomodor. Also, I know about the first genocide of the 20 th century. That one went on between 1890 to 1918. It is called the Armenian genocide of 1915. Sultan Hamid II started small massacres here and there. His europeans allies did not notice it. Then, it went into full swing and they started massacring greeks, armenians, assyrians left and right. It was an ethnic cleansing while Europe was busy with their WW1. However, Germany sent over officers and lots of weapons to help with the genocide. To this day, Turkey denies any wrongdoing. Armenians are trying to get these events into the history books. Armenians are also trying to get governments to recognize it as genocide. Most of them refuse. The greeks and assyrians are mostly asleep. Most of the world still doesn’t talk about it, just like they don’t talk about the Holomodor. All this says that it is ok for Turkey to deny the genocide and for Russia to deny the genocide. In fact, read the things written by Taner Akcam. He is a turkish scholar. From an early age, turks are though that armenians are the enemy and that they were supported by Europe. Taner says that it is normal that such conditions create a nationalistic movement in Turkey. It explains why Hrant Dink was murdered in Constantinople a few years ago. BTW, they threw Taner’s wife in jail years ago and she died there. Taner had escaped to the USA.

@@RaynmanPlays it’s not supposed to be clever. It’s an observation of most of the comments being nearly identical to each other, and none of them being as funny as they think they are.
Good luck with the disappearance of your vague crowd though.
"Crazy like a fanatic...fox I mean!:
That line has stuck with me since I heard 16 years ago
They were so damn right! They even predicted the toilet paper and the wasps！
And the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Gonna tell my kids this is Tucker Carlson
his delivery is super dope
I forgot about killer bees . . . in light of the murder hornets.
Evidently a lot of people in this comment section don’t understand satire.
you can tune into CNN or Fox or any other US network and see this exact skit reenacted
Oh god... do shut up. Left, right, same shit, different colours.
Uh. No. Communism and Socialism are responsible for the deaths of 100 million people in the past 100 years...and it's still going strong.
The shitheads absolutely infest our colleges, our newspapers, our public schools, and the vast majority of our news media. Truly a cancer that needs to be
excised and removed.
And capitalism hasn't killed as many?
How many countries did your country bomb in order to make fuel a little less expensive?
The current president deprived 24 million of the poorest Americans access to health-care. The last president ran drone campaigns. Doesn't matter -- left or right.
The US was founded on the slaughter of Native American Indigenous people. They supposedly brought the continent "civilization" -- even though the biggest library at contact was Indigenous in origin at Chichen Itza.
Dave Foley does a better Glenn Beck than Glenn Beck.
Is that the mormon guy who uses the pyramid's to calculate the time when Jesus is coming?
Communism woke up and fuels Bernie Sanders
@@___-yy8ud What’s communism? Certain businesses would be owned by the state and they distribute land? That seems good to me.
I would say that communism is better than capitalism. It doesn’t make sense that some people make over 100 k$ and up to 180 k$ per year such as doctors and lawyers. It’s just too exaggerated.
Or, they have to pay a lot more taxes.
Apparently, in the USA, some people go bankrupt when they have health problems. That’s just silly. Healthcare should not be treated as a business. Not everything can be run as a business.
Everyone should get equal treatment, from babies to the very old.
If a company is building a bridge, we can’t allow them to cut corners. Again, this is a case where the state needs to have tight control over the operation.
Apparently in Texas, their power corporation is privately owned and they did not spend money to strengthen their system and millions of people were left without power during a cold blast. Then, some top official bought a place ticket to go to Mexico and makes some silly excuse that it is to accompany his daughter and friend.
Cruz left before they knew how bad the storm was going to be, tovarisch. And read some basic history on the Holodomor and the Soviet body count before you make yourself look even more irrational. FFS, this isn't that difficult.
@@burningdaylights Yes, that was his name Cruz. His full name is Ted Cruz.
There is an article titles at the BBC, Texas Senator Ted Cruz has attempted to defend taking a family trip to Mexico amid a winter storm that left millions in his state without power and water.
Ted Cruz. What a great patriot!
There is a difference between communism and Soviet Russia. I think that the rich elite of the USA used the fact that Soviet Russia was an unpleasant place to live to discourage the population from demanding better conditions for themselves. Since Soviet Russia closed down churches and executed a lot of priests, they also used that to suggest that communism was bad. Keep in mind that the USA is a highly religious country.
Look at North Korea. Kim Hung Ill looks like a madman.
Look at China. They covered up the COVID-19 and dumped the doctor who disagreed with them in jail.
So, there are currently no communist countries that would serve as a good model.
I know about the Holomodor. Also, I know about the first genocide of the 20 th century. That one went on between 1890 to 1918. It is called the Armenian genocide of 1915. Sultan Hamid II started small massacres here and there. His europeans allies did not notice it. Then, it went into full swing and they started massacring greeks, armenians, assyrians left and right. It was an ethnic cleansing while Europe was busy with their WW1. However, Germany sent over officers and lots of weapons to help with the genocide. To this day, Turkey denies any wrongdoing. Armenians are trying to get these events into the history books. Armenians are also trying to get governments to recognize it as genocide. Most of them refuse. The greeks and assyrians are mostly asleep. Most of the world still doesn’t talk about it, just like they don’t talk about the Holomodor.
All this says that it is ok for Turkey to deny the genocide and for Russia to deny the genocide.
In fact, read the things written by Taner Akcam. He is a turkish scholar.
From an early age, turks are though that armenians are the enemy and that they were supported by Europe. Taner says that it is normal that such conditions create a nationalistic movement in Turkey. It explains why Hrant Dink was murdered in Constantinople a few years ago.
BTW, they threw Taner’s wife in jail years ago and she died there.
Taner had escaped to the USA.
2/24/22 Russia is at it again
Bastards put their country too close to the NATO bases...
It seems like The Simpsons isn't the only show from the '90s to predict things.
Nobody predicted anything, they knew the plan ahead of time.
@@EQOAnostalgia aka predictive programming
And yet, the satire of thirty years ago STILL isn't as bat-sh*t crazy as the geniune political beliefs of today.
nailed it
Who’s here to appreciate the amazing irony of how accurate this is in 2022 😂😂
We ARE lining up for toilet paper in a Godless world. Sigh.
Oh no! When can we bring back white Jesus?!?!
These jokes aged like the finest wine.
He’s a prophet
Meanwhile in the Ukraine
2:10 J-... Jreg!?!?!?
Just switch "communism" with "fascism" and "nationalism," and this skit would be 100% accurate
Seems pretty relevant
ukranians stans be like:
ryan long was asked how his comedy so often was prophetic.
he said, i just take the most ridiculous thing that is actually happening today, and then i take it to its final conclusion. in a couple years, it or something like it always seems to happen.
I’m sure I’m not the first to say it, but Tucker Carlson anyone? 🔮
Comrade Stalin says dark humor is like food; not everyone gets it.
Zac Hawkins nice one
shut up jake
@Jake Shattuck Funny because socialist countries are better fed them americans. Almost as if america use propaganda to make that up...
Views are gonna explode. been sending this everywhere.
Such a great William F Buckley impression.
young Dave Foley always reminds me of Pete Campbell from Mad Men now lol
David Foley was kind of a looker.....
Russia, Russia, Russia
This is less of a joke now.
Even the left was based in the 90s.
How weirdly prophetic.
Dave Foley grew up and became Glenn beck! lol
Or glenn beck grew up and became dave foley.
I really like this kind of humor. It's not joke-based as much as character based.
Canadian comedians just have to go to school in Canada then turn on the TV or Internet to see what Americans believe. It's the easiest job in the world to create insane characters.
@@crhu319 I really think these people saying "Wow how prophetic" are missing that this is satire about them. They don't realize they are the crazies being mocked by this skit.
@@JimJamTheAdmin How are they crazy, though? Canadians pay 50% of their income to the "their" government. Lawl.

Okay, he was right about Russia.
So maybe RUclips should be promoting this today.
How up to date this skit actually is👌
I just thought this was a joke at the time.
this is getting more accurate
This aged well.
Lining up for toilet paper in some godless world? Killer bees?
Are they psychic?
Research predictive programming.
I wish this was still a joke
every politician in the west right now
Yuri bezmenov was warning everyone in the early 80s, and here we are. They did a great job on the soft mind's.
Also watch some Xi Van fleet videos.
"Lining up for toilet paper and killerbees"
Was this a draft for 2020, all they got wrong was it was murder hornets
how in the name of everything is this so relevant?
War. War never changes.
Ask again... it's now 2020 and he mentioned lining up for toilet paper and killer bees. That is some relevant stuff for back in the 90s.
Don't know how many times I've said "lining up for toilet paper in some godless world" for all these years!
And then you did
Funny how these conspiracies are turning into the truth.
