The Lost World of Communism Ep 01: A Socialist Paradise

I came across this torrent so I thought I'd cross-post it here. It's from the BBC, so you shouldn't be surprised if it presents the bourgeois viewpoint. For a more sensible (i.e. a critical socialist) view on the post-WWII period in Eastern Europe, I suggest you download Harvey Goldberg's excellent lectures on the subject:

The Lost World of Communism Ep 01: A Socialist Paradise (East Germany)

Superb docu from the BBC about the now vanished world of European communism.

For those you born after the Wall fell, look and wonder at what you missed out on :)

This is a three part series and I"ll be posting them shortly. Glad to see my license fee being spent on this sort of output rather than 'Morons on Ice' & 'Britain's Most Talentless Cretins'. But I guess you can't have everything :)

Not my rip, got it off usenet.
