You don't remember the 80's so well do you?
You don't know too much political theory or history either.
Rough translation - I don't know anything about it, but I'm gonna comment anyway.
and people are being encouraged to come here...why? To service the needs of capital perchance?
You're making a common mistake. Equating Stalinism with communism.
:rolleyes: If you look at Communist and Fascist regimes you’ll find they generally share an extremely authoritarian government.
Press censorship, suppression of political opponents and an absence of democracy are traits all shared by present day Cuba, the old Soviet Union, Nazi Germany and Mussolini’s Italy. Of course ideologically they’re not equivalent but both stand together in their intolerance of freedom and democracy.
You're making the same mistake as stargalaxy. You certainly won't find me defending authoratarian communist regimes. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make to be honest.
Although following the Bolshevik coup Lenin enacted press censorship, persecuted the Russian Orthodox Church and suppressed political opponents – even fellow Socialists of different parties. Lenin’s communism didn’t exactly embrace democracy did it? He dismissed the democratic Constituent Assembly when it didn’t produce the result he wanted...Communism in whatever shade has been fundamentally a bad thing.
I think you missed the point entirely. Never mind eh?
Sorry, you won't find me defending Leninism either. What is your point?
LOL! What is this, fucking kindergarten? :rolleyes: If that's the most sophisticated understanding you have of politics its no wonder you're confused.
in soviet union i believe less than 1% of people in moscow lived below the povery line, not saying they were well of but they weren't starving or homeless when the soviet union was at its pinnacle of the 70s and 80s
i believe over 30% of people in moscow live in absolute poverty in moscow now
you want me to condense over a hundred years of political thinking and history into a neat soundbite? Grow up ffs.

Yeah right. :rolleyes:
