@@TheAxeaman The Russian people have NEVER owned the means of production, nor has the monetary system ended. Communism was never actually implemented in Russia / USSR. Lenin tried some things to pay lip service to it, but in the end the government abandoned it, especially under Stalin. There has never been an actual Communist government. It may simply be untenable. If you look at what Marx had in mind, it's nothing like what we saw from the Soviet Union. Show me a country that has ended money and classes. I mean, come on now.... it's a bit unrealistic. Furthermore, Russia is now a capitalist oligarchy, it does not even pretend to communism anymore. That does not mean, however, that Putin does not love the old Soviet Union and that he does not want to restore its former glory. He doesn't care about the political philosophy. But then the guys before him really didn't either. Again, only Lenin actually got anywhere close. It was never about the communism. It was always about the power. This clip is 100% accurate. Putin reinstated the Soviet National Anthem in 2003, BTW. He also stated that the fall of the Berlin Wall was the "greatest geopolitical tragedy of the 21st century" -- as if Hitler had never happened. Putin is literally trying to put the Soviet Union back together, starting with Ukraine. He's been at it for over 20 years.
So Poland, Eastern Germany, the Baltic States, and Ukraine are all under Moscow's control? It's army is a legitimate threat to Western nations? It is capable of landing stuff on the moon? This might be Putin's dream, but it's about as far from reality as you can get.
Actually it's not personally Putin puts soviet flags. The reason, as I see, is determined by needs of propaganda. You see, Putin's regime exploits national memory about WWII, they corrupted it, made a lot of people think, that only Soviet Union fought the nazis alone abondoned by allies, some even think that whole Europe was nazies, so it was war between evil Europe and USSR the liberator. And now regime also exploits this memory to justify this war, telling that there is nazi regime in Ukraine, and soviet flag is used as a symbol of war against the nazis. Picture of soviet soldier putting soviet flag on Reichstag is very famous in Russia, so it hits needed association in minds.
And Pooty-pants is invading Ukraine but is failing miserably, thanks to sanctions and aid to Ukraine along with the Ukrainian's fighting spirit. Also, Zelenskyy is the real man Pooty wishes he could be. Daddy Zladdy vs. Pooty Manboobs, no contest.
It's not just the Soviet flag, Russian soldiers have also been brandishing the Tsarist Imperial Russia flag as well. Less of a return of the Soviet Union, and more about Russians from all sides (including both leftists and nationalists) uniting for the cause.
I was at a sleepover 3 or 4 years ago and we were watching the simpsons clips till we decided to just blast music and have rap battles and that EXACT frame that you used as the thumbnail was paused on the screen the entire night we woke up with it burned in.
My understanding is that it's less that Russia wants to recreate the Soviet Union as it is he wants to recreate the Russian Empire. This is partially why Ukraine has gone so poorly for him, because he truly never saw Ukraine as its own country or state to begin with
It's complicated, russian propaganda mixed everething together, USSR, Russian Empire, even Kiev's Rus era. Don't try to find logic here, it's just nonsense for dumb part of russian population to make Russia Great Again.
Yeah, it's weird when people always compare a conservative capitalist oligarchy that emphasizes religion and "traditional values" - Russia - with a revolutionary socialist state that was atheistic and anything but traditionalist - the Soviet Union.
Because the Russians today that want empire want to do so because of the soviet union and the territories they used to own. the Russian empire is too far back nobody remembers it. They are nostalgic for their most recent empire.
By Putins logic countries like germany should be allowed to reclaim it's old terretories. I mean that is a pretty dumb thought Past is the past, and there are no rights to what he is doing. What will there be to claim when every cit and community is almost conpleatly destroyed. There will be a lot to care of. I hope this war ends soon before more destruction occures
Ok I see a bunch of people missing what "Aged Well" means, it means Does the joke or commentary have relevance outside of the original context. If something aged well, it means that the joke or commentary still have relevance outside of the original context. In the case of this Simpson's joke it aged not only very well, but aged like wine, meaning it's very relevant to the point of being prophetic. If something doesn't age well, it means that it doesn't have relevance outside of it's original context or in fact is borderline anachronistic. something aging very poorly is said to have "Aged like milk." in that it's spoiled, and effectively something to be avoided, potentially cringe inducing. Joke or Commentary that sought to predict was so amazingly wrong, so way off the mark it's irrelevant entirely.
Except Putin is not a communist and the Russian attacks on Ukraine do not equate to the URSS resurfacing. It’s similar in quite a superficial manner. In a “Ooh Tanks going from Russia to somewhere else” kind of way.
@@Victor-qx3vx It's not about communism, it's about imperialism and global tension. The Russian imperial project was set back for a number of years, but is back in full swing again. Tensions between the US and Russia are at Cold War levels now.
This is much more true than most could think. No one ever gave Russia a place in the UN Security Council. They just came in and simply took the place (sat in the chair) of the former USSR (a much bigger and a different country than the Russian Federation) and no one objected to that. Basically, everyone shat in their pants, including the US, so no one objected. And that is now so. The power of the precedent
I like the tone you're taking, like it wasn't obvious that Russia was entitled to that spot. Nobody stopped them because nobody had any issues with it. To be technical, what you think of as the Soviet Union's spot in the UN could easily be considered to be Russia's alone, given that Belarus and Ukraine were separate UN members despite being part of the USSR. It's not as open-and-shut as it appears.
Short term and medium term predictions are easy. Just take one thing in to consideration, we humans elect leaders who pander to the elderly. If your voters are going to be dead in 10-15 years just distract them and never fix any problems. The next party will get the blame for causing a problem you didn't fix.
Having taken political science classes, that effectively sums it up quite well. Another great way to describe politics, from a Pearls before Swine comic; "I'd say I'll fix the problems, but we all know I'm paid for by my biggest donors and follow them. So, here are torches and pitchforks."
People realise that Russia never stopped using Soviet like symbolism after the end of the USSR right? It's not hard to predict. I just wish Lenin really did come back and strangle out Dugin, Putin, and the traitorous Kremlin.
I like russian translation more. When American politic asks “I thought you guys broke up” instead of “That’s what we want you to think” russian politic says “It was a joke”. More hilarious in my opinion.

Yeah, IRL they had a single T-34-85 (that was most likely manufactured in the Kharkiv Tank factory nonetheless) and the Russian equivalent to the ROTC and a bunch of Geezers. Literal Volksturm type beat
There were always tanks though. It gets boring after first time. They broadcast it every year. Except this time they used old stuff because everything else is in a certain "military operation"
When they do victory day parades, they go with Soviet iconography for a reason. Because victory day celebrates the end of WWII and honors those who died. Nostalgia is also often used to make people feel better during rough patches. It only makes sense they'd do that.
@@veler6049 Russia is evil again, back on the war track and one of Putin's guys basically admitted on Russian TV that the Ukraine was never the true goal, the true goal was to revive the Soviet Union. They just made the mistake to underestimate resistance of the Ukraine, thy truly though that within less than a week the country is under their control and they can move on and infiltrate the next country.
russians are among the very few people that majorly look back at the worst, most oppressive periods in their history and unironically wish for those to return. Somehow a period of mass repressions, deaths of millions and everything else that commies brought is looked back to very kindly.

Oh that’s right… getting invaded and cowering behind some Dragons teeth and minefields.
@@PeterMuskrat6968if staying behind minefields and dragon teeth is what only stupid Russian Ivans do, then why does Ukrainian victorious army not unmine their own defence lines? That would be a true sign of Ukraine abandoning out-of-date totalitarian Z-orkish war methods and following progressive democratic light-wielding Western partners’ standards…
The only thing this missed was the president of the United States being best friends for life with Putin.
I think it aged perfectly.
0:12 After seeing the Moscow 2023 Victory Parade, yeah, that hasn't aged too well. They actually *had* tanks in this.
Yeah, IRL they had a single T-34-85 (that was most likely manufactured in the Kharkiv Tank factory nonetheless) and the Russian equivalent to the ROTC and a bunch of Geezers.
Literal Volksturm type beat
There were always tanks though. It gets boring after first time. They broadcast it every year. Except this time they used old stuff because everything else is in a certain "military operation"
They allways have tanks often older ones
im russian and there are tanks every year i watch the parade what are you talking about
When they do victory day parades, they go with Soviet iconography for a reason. Because victory day celebrates the end of WWII and honors those who died. Nostalgia is also often used to make people feel better during rough patches. It only makes sense they'd do that.
Another true prediction.
Look, I’m not a big Simpsons fan. But I could say with certainty this is probably one of my favourite scenes next to the turkey scene.
This aged like fine wine.
This aged extremely well 😫
This could never happen in #America.
Ha ha
That one didn't age quite so well? What are you talking about? This one aged perfectly. It was an accurate prediction of the future.
How did it predict the future?
@@veler6049 Russia is evil again, back on the war track and one of Putin's guys basically admitted on Russian TV that the Ukraine was never the true goal, the true goal was to revive the Soviet Union. They just made the mistake to underestimate resistance of the Ukraine, thy truly though that within less than a week the country is under their control and they can move on and infiltrate the next country.
On the contrary.,...it aged perfectly hahaahah gold
What do you mean it didn't age well? It was perfect
Nothing aged well or not well. Modern Russia is as unlike the Soviet Union as a country can be.
For the Russians, this aged like fine wine.
The nostalgia of right-wing russians for soviet stuff is - together with german "ostalgia" - one of the weirdest phenomenons i ever had to witness.
russians are among the very few people that majorly look back at the worst, most oppressive periods in their history and unironically wish for those to return. Somehow a period of mass repressions, deaths of millions and everything else that commies brought is looked back to very kindly. Not a single other people of the former USSR is like that, as far as I can tell.
