Don't watch this on drugs!
Because you will, subconsciously or not, be looking for some large in-joke or esoteric reason justifying all the war and fatalities to somehow get your head around our leaders' actions, and none shall you find!
shareI think he made this on drugs - like he did NATURAL BORN KILLERS lol. I so wish the Soviets had won because they treated their own people so good, I'm sure they would have treated us all and the rest of the world that way - LOL!
shareThe soviets did nothing to their people that was worse than oppressing certain parts of society for hundreds of years and slavery. I don't care how many gulags they had.
shareSlavery disappeared though-out the West during the 19th century. Slavery was common in Africa and Arab world during the 20th century. It is leftist bigotry to single out the US on slavery.
Four More Years! Ha ha ha ha ha ha
The gulags held an average of 10% of the population, with a 25% mortality rate from Stalin's time to the early 80's. The occupants were chosen at random.
That's a lot of "certain parts".

But this suggestion is, of course, a strawman. The point being made by this series isn't that the Soviets treated their people well, it's that the US approach to that rivalry was horrid in itself. They certainly treated their own people like $hit, but the US treated a hell of a lot of people in a hell of a lot of other countries,just as badly(and it was oftentimes needless. We essentially took the approach that any third world regime that wasn't aggressively anti communist needed be toppled, democracy and human rights be damned. It was nothing short of draconian, and wholly counter to what the US supposedly stands for).
And we ignore it on the home front because we remained/remain comfy.
