I don't know why I always fear, that you might portray things as more one sided that they were. Because you never do! I'm glad you mentioned, that none of these protests were purely good or bad. I'm very happy with this series and channel :) Thank you
While some would deride the protests as proof of "grass-is-greener-on-the-other-side" thinking, I look at it as evidence that no body of government is immune from critism or is infallible. Small, unrestrictive governments can still easily be corrupted and turn a blind eye to injustice, and beurocatic, state guided economies still rely on traditional power structures to prevent social upheaval.
The head of the german student movement Rudi Dutschke (a guy of course) said that in eastern germany, everything is real, but socialism while in western germany, everything is real but liberty, equality and fraternity. It wasn't really about the other side being better. it was more about both sides having huge flaws

It is pretty telling of western education systems that I never heard of the 1968 spring in Czechoslovakia. A censorship-free, democratic, and opposition-welcoming socialism was possible. It was crushed and forced into oblivion so we all forget about what could have been.

There's a mistake in 7:28 minutes in this video, it says that Jan Palach, the student who set himself on fire, studied philosophy, when in reality he studied history and political economy at Charles University in Prague.
He actually started out as a student of economy but in 1968 (just a few months before his death) he did in fact start studying philosophy. It had always been his first choice of a school but he wasn't accepted when he first tried.

Great video. Just goes to show that protests even protests for equality abound with shades of grey, though standing up and speaking out for what you believe is right is always respectable as long as you're doing it out of a genuine desire for the best for all people.

Dear Mr. Green I happen to enjoy very much your series not only on western literature, but quite on the international one. I ask you sincerely as an Iranian to do an episode on a beloved persian literature, the novel: My Uncle Napoleon by Iraj Pezeshkzad.

@@melonlord1414 Hmm idk, I've lived in Dresden before, a place usually considered relatively conservative when it comes to bigger cities, and we always had a ton of protests there as well. I think it mostly works well in the big cities with universities. But yeah, if you study in some smaller town, it might be harder. Which place are you referring to, specifically?
@@melonlord1414 But yeah, Berlin *is* special when it comes to that. There were 40 protests going on in the city today even though it has been raining all day. Proud of this place.
N / A To me it looks like Dresden is very much split politically. I heard many people say that the people they got to know, were quite open minded and educated. But then you see AFD and Pegida in the media. I guess it really depends on the social environment you are in.
it's pronounced [vaats-lav] Havel and May Day is a holiday appropiated by the communists, but not communist in origin. May 1st is a holiday of love, much like St. Valentine's in the US (although not as commercialised). but altogether, not a bad episode, most Americans tend to get these wrong
Just learned of the concept of the "reference man". Due to which, for example, if a woman and a man are in the same car crash the woman is 17% more likely to die. Simply because the crash test dummies are, or at least have been, modelled after the reference man. So the more things change...
17% increase in chance of death is not an insignificant amount. That is on top of iirc ~70% increase in the chance of mild injuries and ~30% increase in severe injuries. And the examples and their repercussions are numerous. For example food and drug safe daily intakes are all according to the reference man, that is an 80kg white adult cis-male. If some medication caused a 17% increase in fatalities it would be pulled immediately but because it's safe for the reference man it's "too expensive to account for".
I hope they are going to make a video about the fall of the military juntas in Portugal, Spain and Greece which were around that time period and the negative impact those Juntas had.
Maybe it’s worth mentioning that in west Germany the nazi past was an issue. Many nazis continued to work in governmental institutions after the war. The unfinished denazification meant that there wasn’t much of a debate about the nazi time. But now there was a new generation that knew very well what their parents did, pointed out that many of the old generation where nazis and questioned their authority.
The head of the german student movement Rudi Dutschke (a guy of course) said that in eastern germany, everything is real, but socialism while in western germany, everything is real but liberty, equality and fraternity. I think this sums up the worldview of german student protests quite nicely. They weren't for the eastern part of the cold war. They wanted a better world where democracy and equality are working hand in hand. It's way easier to demand this, than to actually implement it. That's sadly the problem of most left wing governments.
About the protests in 1968 in France, the government nearly collapsed because of the protests. Initially, they had large public support because of the heavy handed tactics the police used to suppress them. The general strike was one of the largest general strikes ever. Towards the end of the protests, De Gaulle fled to Baden Baden and returned to Paris only when the military assured him they had his back. Some senior ministers began burning files and made sure their cars had enough gas to get to Belgium. The protests ended when he called early parliamentary elections which his center-right Gaulist party won a surprise landslide, which was partially attributed to the communist and socialist parties splitting the left leaning vote.
When we all consider the volume of work needed with health and climate… we cannot stop the reality of what that work takes and what types of wakes have been left behind within those large ships of change.

Dude... how are you going to talk about protests in this time period without even mentioning "May 68?" Charles de Galle literally had to flee the country. It would actually be a good event for you to do a "bottle episode" about, focusing solely on that time in French history for 10 minutes. I'm legitimately hoping to hear more about that next episode.
He didn't really "flee" the country, he just went to consult french General Massu based in Germany because he actually considered the military option to end the crisis. Instead, he chose to let his Prime Minister lead negociations with the Unions, which was a success and then he dissolves the National Assembly to provoke legislative election which his Party won by a great majority. But, yeah he did a pro gamer move by disappearing during an entire day and all gaullists freaked out at this moment.
@@florianlecarrour5992 Dude, a FRENCH President went to GERMANY at a point in the TWENTIETH CENTURY to get clear of the largest protests the country had ever seen engulfing Paris. This guy was run out of town on the proverbial rail and there is less than no need for you to be pedantic about it. The fact that John didn't even mention it is still beyond ridiculous.
People always protested poor treatment. At least now hopefully there will be less heavy artillery crushing them. Or will there? (America, I'm looking at you)
I would love a crash course just on the history of protest and organized free speech. From Greek to Martin Luther to the modern day. Idk if that the through line but it would be interesting.
May '68 in France was also a sort of sexual liberation movement for the students. From then on sex started to be destigmatised. The protests were for many things, but generally for freedom such as Sartre's idea of freedom, which included sexual liberation
On a side note, the protests in Europe also had an effect on the other side of the world, the Philippines. In February 1971 students of the University of the Philippines students created barricades in the campus and declared the Diliman commune. Unfortunately it did get crushed by the dictatorship, but the European protests did partially inspire it

The Hungarian revolution of 1956 was also started by student protest.
Revolution against who? The communist government? Forgive my ignorance, I'm just curious.
@@cometmoon4485 Yes, it was extremely similar to the Crezchloslovakian Protest described in the video.
