Russsia is not communist

It hasn't been communist in over twenty years. Regardless of where you stand on Crimea and Ukraine, can we please agree to knock off the remarks having to do with communism: comrade, McCarthyite, communist, anti-communist, etc...? It's just ridiculous people. However you want to understand this issue, it is not a fight between communism and capitalism. The Cold War has been over for a long time. Please, for the love of Lenin and /or God almighty, give up the Cold War attacks and insinuations.

runaway rampant capitalist madness. They are all over the map when it comes to business. I would recommend that DU'er check out the Skolkovo Foundation in Moscow for an idea of Russian Tech Start Ups. Mashable had a list of the top twenty recently. Skolkovo just received a $45 million grant from the Russian ministry of Finance. Many iPad Apps and games are coming out of Russia. I know this because I translate many of them. The Soviet Union has been gone a long time. People are making money in Russia.

5. I have to remind my Republican aquaintances of this all the time

China is also capitalist. Russia is hard right wing Capitalist.

China is now where the GOP want the USA to be eventually. People held against their will making .62 cents per hour and pollution so thick it hurts to breathe.

47. Many of the same people are in charge, whether
 
they are 'communist' or not. Why did yoy feel the need for an OP in the subject?

48. People framing this debate in terms of a cold war paradigm gives
 
the false impression that Russia represents the interests of the people over the wealthy, which is far from the case. Putin is concerned about power and influence over the Ukraine and control over shale oil in Crimea. He is a not a crusader for the masses.

It's also frustrating to see make people make comments that are completely counter-historical.

Then the continual allegations that people are communist or redbaiting McCarthyites are nonsensical, and I would at least like to see people keep their insults relevant to the current millennium.


^You sure didn't study any history, did you?  What was your degree in again?

These are the same dolts who said the USSR wasn't communist. When it was pointed out that the real world result of Marxist ideology didn't match up to what they said it would be like, they had to claim that the USSR was really "state sponsored capitalism." As you can see, they do the same thing now with China (AgingAmerican - "China is also capitalist. Russia is hard right wing Capitalist.").

Is Russia commie? Not to the degree that the USSR was, but it is Putin's goal.

Libs have an agenda, and it has nothing to do with the truth.

It sounds like the DUmmies don't want to besmirch their beloved communism ideals with the way Putin is acting.  They forget that Putin is old guard , hard-line KGB.

They toss China in to the mix, because they know that the Chi-Coms will be emboldened by Obama's flaccid response to Putin and might make some moves of their own .

Hard to crowbar any more stupid into that thread, but I'm sure the little infants will manage to.

Already happening, I believe.  Saw an article announcing China increasing Military spending by 12 or 21%.  Lost link and may have dislexia-ed the percentge.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

Guess they figure they'd better do what they want before somebody competent shows up to stop them.
