Episode Summary

[x] Remove Ad

Communism's Heroes was a one off BBC2 drama documentary about the history of Communism as an ideology and all the people who claimed to be Communists, and what those people did. A question posed in the programme is, How would Karl Marx have reacted to what the likes of Lenin, Stalin and Mao did in the name of Communism and Marxism, if he were alive today? Would he be completely horrified at how they turned a democratic egalatarian ideology into a autocratic capitalist state with terror, repression and personality cults. In Part III we see the collapse of Communism and the end to the oppresive and bloody regimes. We look at what has happened after the collapse and what the plans for the future are. There are only five "Communist" states left on Earth, who are all moving slowly towards Capitalism, Part III looks at when and how this can be achieved.

Episode Notes

It is estimated that over 200,000,000 people died since 1900 in the name of Communism. People were beaten, tortured, put in prison without trial, forced to work in camps and deported.

The USA has often sided with autocratic fascists, such as Augusto Pincohet, to go against socialism and communism. In spite of the mass human rights violations carried out by these dictators.
