    Wonder what the Americans who call everything communism feel about siding with communist dictatorships?

      That’s kind of a weird question. Russia isn’t communist and arguably never got further than state capitalism under the Soviet Union. Russia is certainly a dictatorship/oligarchy now, but so is the US (with extra steps that are currently being dismantled anyways).

      You seem to have been asleep for a couple of decades. Russia isn’t a communist dictatorship. It is a right wing fascist dictatorship.

        The point is that Americans are perceived as calling anything that they don’t understand or doesn’t conform as either Communist or Socialist even if they aren’t.

          This is what I meant also I never mentioned Russia but let’s just go off on a tangent with insults anyway. China is a bedfellow in this

      Pretty fucking disgusted that we’ve decided to embrace the horrendous fucking garbage lunatic in office and really fucking disgusted he’s on putlers balls. I’m sorry Europe were a disgrace
