Revolution vs. Counter Revolution after World War Two - Lessons of Soviet History, Part 4
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 ноя 2024
- After the triumph of the Soviet Union over fascism in World War Two, world politics was completely transformed. No longer allies in the war against the Axis states, the “democratic” capitalist countries turned on the USSR and formed a global bloc of all the imperialist powers to confront the rising tide of socialist revolution.
In Part 4 of The Socialist Program’s multi-part series on the history of the Soviet Union, we discuss the emergence of the global class war known as “the Cold War” and key milestones in its early years. This includes the advent of nuclear weapons; the revolutions in China, Korea and Vietnam; the formation of NATO, and more.
Watch the video edition of “The Real Story” on BreakThrough News!
Brian is joined by Carlos Martinez, author of “The End of the Beginning: Lessons of the Soviet Collapse,” co-founder of the No Cold War Campaign, and editor of the political analysis site Invent-The-Future.org.

At Breakthrough News we believe in the power of independent media. Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape - controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. They control the news cycle, to which social media and even most “alternative” media is forced to respond. We are breaking through that cycle.
We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities - because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real-time.
People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
We can be that media arm, but only with your help. Become a Patron and join us on the front lines in the battle of ideas.

Was just rewatching this series, Carlos is a great guest and wealth of Soviet knowledge. Cool to see you both back discussing this.
Please continue with part 5
Great talk
EXCELLENT LECTURE... TRULY...
i am just loving this series, so much great information, thank you Brian Becker and Breakthrough news
Just watched.So much packed together.Unless one has the fundamental knowledge of these elements of history it would be a bombarding analysis.Mercifully,I knew something being 66 of years I think I could keep pace watching from India.Should soon catch up on the earlier ones.Profound experience would be an understatement.Would recommend most Indian military men and women to hear this hugely illuminating discussion to rid themselves of much of their historical understanding built upon Western/European/American writings or Hollywood watching.Thanks/Gracias
Brian really puts things in the right context. Outstanding discussion.
This is such a fantastic and informative series on Soviet/World history.
Excellent content and very good production. BT News is an essential reference today for anyone interested on world´s current trends.
Loving these series. Great job.
this has been a great series, really enjoyed it. Break Through News has become one of my go to channels.
What a wonderful program! Thank you to all involved, from the bottom of my heart ✊✊❤️
My third comment: I argue this fact to others here in Sydney Australia that Taiwan voted as China to bombard North Korea, so Taiwan is Chinese, a regeon of China, after all it is in the South China Sea. The bombings on North and South Korea by U N forces is best described as a war crime. Thank you for your top historical research.
The mistake people make when observing the Cold War, or rather The Global Peasants Revolt, is looking at it like each revolution was centrally planned from the USSR, rather than many spontaneous uprisings the Soviet Union then backed when they were underway. The Soviet Union was the bulwark of revolution, not really an exporter, but a strong backer of the Global South when they were ready to lift themselves up.
I don’t any Cold Warrior has ever looked at those revolutions as being planned by the Soviet Union. They did however point out Soviet backing and pro-Soviet sentiment in these movements which spread like a “domino”
Request: make a short documentary (10 mins or less) about how USSR wanted to allow germany to reunite & wanted to join NATO but west rejected & .. basically that NATO was a threat to peace not USSR.
Very informative, thank you.
Yes, correct the U K led invasion of Russia in 1918 came to an end when British soldiers were learning about socialism and preparing to turn their guns. Loyed George gave the excuse that they caught the Russian flue as they retreated.
'Caught the Russian flu' is very funny euphemism in that context
fantastic episode, just like the previous three!! am urging all my friends to watch.
also: great history of the "Cold War," even assuming (for the moment, for the sake of argument) one is not interested at all in socialism.
THANK YOU FULL OF INFORMATION. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!! FROM IRANIAN COUMMINST. NO TO AYTOHLAS!!!!!!!! NO TO ISLAMIC TERRORISTS REPUBLIC!!!!!!!!!!!
USA would win all all 3 medal in Olympics of paranoia.
Thank you for the educational content.
🙏🙏🙏
VIVA LA REVOLUCIÓN CUBANA !!!
Amazing serie! Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge
Where can I find the series with both Carlos and Brian? Thanks.
To the American establishment simply - please live us alone! I see that there's some positive movement there in the US - but still - the main threat for world peace is the US all-mighty military.
I wish you all the best. Try to make peace for a difference.
Great Series, but s Suggestion on the Moderator! Please let the Guests more Space to Talk, by asking the Question and allmost Answering it by yourself, you come over as a SmartA...
Please take it as a Kritik, not as a Assault.
Agreed haa he knows too much about the topic so just take it as two well-informed and enthusiastic uncles reminiscing
Website address you gave for your guest is not active.
unbelievable
... what goes around, comes around. Be prepared, what you had planted abroad has now replanted on your home soil.
The boonerang is on it's way back to the West and the Us.
Mr Becker is our teacher .
My father was a rural rancher drafted WWII, 7th ID, and was in first wave of US occupation of Japan. Personal Polaroids of Hiroshima as his ship passed.He was lifelong construction worker, hated unions, lifelong republican. He hated my politics. Even he always said they all knew (soldiers) bombs were dropped to intimidate USSR, also they all expected to die invading USSR. Returning enlisted vets, none liked trusted govt. This history never told.
The greatest mockery of the working classes.
The Wall Street Journal editor called the China/Russia alliance an "axis".
is it also the west society who called iran, "axis of evil"...?
where can i find part 5 of the series?

The future international open mind...many children state side...are lost in the world of geographic relationships..students must forge ahead..even if they must study..fog of political literature..Kennedy..spoke with...future visions..must have free minds...Geopolitical...diplomacy...east and west...north and south...complexities..resources..schools...peace
The Old Cold war is different from this New Cold war because the China Card is held by Russia.
But isnt it what Trump would do, sending troops while watching sports
Humanity vs israel/usa.
JANUARY 6TH USA IS REAL AMERICANS DEMOCRACY???????????????????????????
Brian talks too much. Sounds like he wants to display his historical knowledge, which is annoying the way he does it.
I used to hate it, but I've gotten used to it. After all every presenter has their style.
I think its great. It demonstrates he has studied the subject at hand and knows the right questions to ask of his guests. It also makes it easy to assess his biases, which improves the value of the narrative or information he is providing through his interviews.
