      How does this have upvotes? Completely braindead analysis here. Russia hasn’t been communist or socialist for over 30 years!

      In point of fact, the Russian Federation is neither communist nor socialist. It’s an authoritarian/fascist state that pays lip service to the appearance of a constitutional republic.

      One would say Russia during USSR times was “communist” or “socialist” (I’m using quotes because that might still be debatable to some.) But either way, I don’t think you can say that anymore today. Today Russia is run by oligarchs and apparently that’s what these idiots want for the US as well.

      They DO want to be like modern Russia, earnestly. The national chauvinism, the suppression of LGBT, the violence against women, the kleptocrat oligarchs running the show, the use of the Church as a political tool, the brutal wars of spoils…the list goes on.

      Modern russia is a capitalistic authoritarian shithole, though, just what they like. There’s no socialism (and one could even argue whether there ever was any) there.

      Russia hasn’t been communist since 1991. An awful lot of people online seem to have missed that memo.
