Cold War - Make Love Not War The Sixties [E13/24]

@@AYVYN They annihilated western culture and left a vacuum for the kids, and a bill that they can never afford to pay. They were COMMUNISTS and yes the KGB was influential in steering the anti-war movement.

@@AYVYN I don't understand what you're trying to say here. That because evil has always existed that means its OK for states to commit organized mass scale atrocities of vengeance against their own populations? What kind of argument are you trying to make here?

Baby bommers

you got that right

The generation that gives us the tech bros -

Same here. My folk wouldn't let me and my sister listen to those glorious 70's hits or Disco or Rock for that matter. It was Mexican or Peruvian folk music or Rancheras. So in the 80's I rebelled and us teens were thrashed onto Michael Jackson and all those best 80's hits and 90's Techno!

Nice dude

Hot Wheels car?

But kept the weed

30,000 Canadians volunteered to fight in Vietnam as US Soldiers.

Now it makes a lot of sense! Back when I was STILL living in Mexico I met my best friend's cousin who was about 17 years old. He was a Mexican-American with US Citizenship. His parents were so afraid to return to the USA. They kept saying "lo van a matar a mi-hijo, lo van a mandar ah esa guerra..." "They are going to kill my boy if they sent him to that war...". They were afraid the guy would be drafted and sent to Vietnam. I knew almost nothing about this war until I met my friend's cousin and much later I watched through the Mexican TV about this horrible war in the mid-70's

Cus ur brainwashed

Its a great series. This is my 3rd time watchin.

was that in the 60's or was that like 1970-1972, i'm not sure. it might have been too late for it to be covered in a show about events 1960-1969

Most young kids of todays era have been dumbed down because of the invetion of facebook twitter etc. They spend far to much time on gadgets tech & social media. Technoligy has made alot of people dumb to the world around them. It's sad to see kids stuck in there rooms playing on consoles etc instead of interacting in real life

Kian Pilu it's not technology in itself. It's mass media people consume that is poison. Technology brings this documentary right alongside the useless drivel that many people waste their lives consuming. It comes down to choices and not following the herd into oblivion.

Hey no need to bring Motley Crue into this.

Im 53 and totaly agree

@@johns.7609 Exactly. It can be very difficult sometimes to not get sucked into the useless drivel, I pay for an app on my browser just to blank out my youtube home screen and scrolling side bar. I've spent one too many nights in one too many youtube rabbit holes. Now my youtube browsing is more focused, e.g. this documentary series.

This is when they became biased.

How can you be both anti war and unbiased? Makes no sense.

who and what are you talking about?

There was no way to win unless they went all in. By fighting a limited war and not taking North Vietnam they handicapped themselves. TheNorth just had to wait it out and prolong the war beyond their will to fight it. Plus the South Vietnam government was incompetent and hated. They were proping up a lost cause.

If they had let the troops win,then they would have won it's not a big mystery what happend there greed and corruption and a government that didn't have the balls to do what needed doing

Ok.... So then the Chinese just invade (again) and we have another version of the Korean War. Which is exactly what everyone was desperately trying to avoid. While I agree the strategy in Vietnam (such as search and destroy) was extremely flawed, there was a very good reason US policymakers were cautious about expanding the Vietnam war northward. That reason was *China.*

The whole point was not to win. Just look at all the money made from the war. People who stood to benefit had influence and interest in prolonging it.

It doesn't really have to do with human rights (the US had/has a pretty terrible human rights record too, so human rights is never really a real concern of the US). It's because communism and the civil rights movement both place emphasis on equality and social justice. Americans have always perceived any form of equity and social justice as radical. You can still see it in the US today, where politicians and programs that would be considered moderate or centrist in any other country are viewed as "radical," "far left" or "communist/socialist" by a lot of Americans.

@@dimetronome This isn't even really true. **I am speaking on a purely historical level out of todays political context now.** Not to say that scaremongering for political means such as in the context of Cold War politics doesn't exist (because it is huge), but "Progressives" have existed in the US prior (and during) to the USSR's existence and was and still are a large part of what makes up Liberal Democracy (including American) on a fundamental level. Then, and now. Scaremongering is just that. Used by "Conservatives" and "Liberals" (notice how I use quotes) alike. Abolition, Women's Suffrage in the mid 19th-early 20th century.. And speaking of the Cold War, wasn't Johnsons "Great Society" covered? MLK? While it may be slow, reform is a large part of Liberal Democracy.

@@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917 I will speak on a purely historical level too. I agree with what you’re saying. There was a significant overlap between the civil rights movement and socialist/communist movements due to the ideological emphasis on egalitarianism. Although there were also progressive liberal feminists and liberal civil rights activists, most of the feminists at the time and the majority of prominent civil rights activists and leaders were overtly socialist. Indeed, the struggle against racism and Jim Crow was understood by most members of the civil rights movement as part of a larger class struggle against capitalist oppression (you can see this in MLK’s speeches and the writings of so many civil rights activists). By the 1960s, liberals started supporting the civil rights movement in larger numbers (although the liberals were focused more on reforms and identity politics, whereas the socialists sought more radical systemic changes - for ex., the Marxist-Leninist BPP). Prior to this, most anti-racism movements overlapped with anti-capitalist movements for ideological reasons. Yes, liberals have supported feminist and civil rights causes, but the fact that they favour slower and more cautious change means that socialists and communists are usually far ahead of them in supporting progressive social issues like feminism and civil rights. I’m not intending to pass judgement on liberalism or socialism/communism, but simply stating facts about history and political ideology.

Barry Sadler. I'm surprised no one replied to you before this. Great song btw.

Carl Spackler sang the definitive version.

@@john-cm8yn thank you.

@@alicetango6725 he isn't wrong tho 😐

Paul singh-sangha I believe it was a way to boost income for corporations like the makers of napalm ect. At the cost of poor disadvantaged people lives. $$talks.All the lives lost did not resolve anything except income boost

It was meant to promote the military industrial complex. And put a foothold in the east. But mainly to make money.

Yeah

...only if you live that long, not doing them till then will increase your odds of reaching your 60's👮

@@GriniteGaming thanks loads. Didn't he commit in an African hotel back in the 70's.

@@67nairb No problem, Brian! Good question. That I'm unaware of.

@@GriniteGaming But I think he did commit suicide in some hote; in Africa.

Just like todays left wingers, who are all about everyone else giving their hard earned belongings to minorities. Just don’t touch theirs. They’ve invented all kinds of tags for normal, working class people, too. The can kiss America’s ass

Y'all grew up, took over politics and education, and continue to ruin the country.

I notice how you made no mention of being employed.................how did you finance your protests? There were a lot of people who went to war and lost their lives so you could stay in America and be a hippie........were you a draft dodger?........you said and I quote " I had a ball being a hippie. I would do it again." Well if being a hippie was the only thing you did then I guess you probably did have fun, while others died..............so all you really did was to spread the ideology of the liberalism, which was to ""Turn on, tune in, drop out". So in actuality what you did was to live off the monies of the system you despised? You sound like a 1960's version of Bernie Sanders or the Clinton's. I actually reluctant on asking this next question but............so what did you finally do with your life??

Communist tools is all you were and you still lost the Cold War. You will lose the current bid for power going on in Washington today

LOL😅😂🤣 AND look @ your country now, & the rest of the poor dumb Whitocracies...CV-19 BS dictatorships. EWE dippy hippies did a *'GREAT'* job!

The next episode along is about the USSR in the 60s

🤦‍♂..... Ugh.. This episode is named "Make Love Not War, The 60's"... The *next* episode is named "Red Spring, The 60's"... No shit this episode is about America during the 60's.. The *NEXT* episode is about the USSR and Eastern Bloc..

Detroit still looks like that

I would really like to know how many African americans vs non African americans there where in total.

and people were having sex outside marriage before the 60s, so theres no reason that a good documentary should make a big hype about it all because a few morons said sexual values werent important during that time.

S.A. B look women from the 60s are dying for some free love right now Duty Now for the Future

Tarpaulin.

Maybe I just missinterpreted him... He starts saying: "life was good"... and then continued pointing out the things why he believed "life was good" like saying "we all had jobs"... But then, completely out of the blue, he says: "we were all white" and I just wonder, why is life good if everybody is white within your neighborhood? For me, it is quite the opposite. One of the reasons why I love Australia, New Zeland, France, England, etc is because I go outside and I see many many different people with different colors, sizes, shapes, ideas, beliefs, ways of thinking, and I just love it. It makes life much more interesting

Reip187 In 1950 Wayne County was the richest county on earth. Look at it now, crime killed Detroit, 3 in out every 10 blacks have left it and 85 percent of whites since 1980. That city had every thing going for it in 1963 the Mustang just came out, Motown was a hit machine. Black unemployment was lower by fraction a point then whites, although they made less then whites, when adjusted for inflation they made far more then today. The minimum wage was $1.25 per hour but those 5 quarters were still 90 percent silver $18 and change an hour in today's money. Other cities survive race riots, but not those levels of crime. Kids growing up now there in bad schools and abandoned neighborhoods will never know or believe what a great powerful city it was.
