3. and the steady march to fascism

very disturbing to me that russia is allowing a right wing take over of the country :p

but then again, cubas been the closest thing to communism in the world for about 30 years.

To me, russia hasnt been a communist country(and isnt in anyway returning to one) since the 60s.
the same with china, only since the late 70s early 80s.

money is the most important thing to the leaders of these countries now,
and facism under a false name is the common mantra. changing the meanings of words isnt a new idea, conservatives in our own country have been doing it for a while now as well.

anyone who thinks this is a move back towards communism just because putin was a KGB man are simply kidding themselves, and frankly are blind to whats been occuring in a whole in russia. russia has been changing drastically towards the right since around 2000 or so.
