    Tell me you have no understanding of history…

    Putin was handpicked by Yeltsin. Yeltsin was the first president of Russia. He bombed the Russian congress because the people elected the communist party to the majority of the seats and they were going to reinstate communism.

    When the USSR was dissolved 80% of the people in all republics (on average) wanted to keep the union going. It was dissolved undemocratically.

    Yeltsin was a US puppet. When he was too drunk to continue running the nascent mob republic of Russia, that was opening up to western capitalists to ravage the state enterprises and natural resources, he handpicked Putin to keep the show going.

    Putin was very friendly with Clinton and the euro neolibs. He tried joining NATO several times.

    And he does NOT long for communism? What are you talking about. He is super anti-communist. He longs more for the Russian Empire, that was toppled by the communists…

    But yes you are right. Most people in Putin’s generation do long for the USSR. Because they had objectively better lives under communism.

    The fall of the USSR was the single most devastating event for quality of life in human history. Life expectancy dropped by 20 years in most republics. Unemployment and homelessness (which didn’t exist at all before) skyrocketed. Inflation was the worst ever. All national services were dismantled and sold for pennies to the friends of the new regimes (all allied with the US and west).

    My friend just read a bit before spewing bullshit. I know this is just the internet and it doesn’t really matter. But it’s just embarrassing to repeat the most tired bullshit anti-communist lines over and over.

      Buddy, this is how communism actually works: it doesn’t. lol.

      I’m not your friend, you’re a tool for something you don’t even understand, while living in post soviet PUTIN russia. A real communist would be fighting a Putin, your paying him taxes.

      BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

      oh yeah black death ain’t got nothing on a bunch of drunks shitting their collective (kolkhoz? lol) bed after ramming their economy into the ground for decades with useless 5 year plans that made things worse, then capping it off with an invasion of Afghanistan.

      How can you be this deluded and still type? Man for someone who claims to understand history you draw all the wrong conclusions so consistently, I almost believe you’re brainwashed. Or just a liar.

      Whatever the source of the delusions, you’re wrong, you know it, you’re think you’re a communist die-hard but really a putin-bitch paying him to rape ukrainians because… COMMUNISM IS GREAT lol.

      good luck in your kakistocracy, it’s literally the best russia can aspire to. pfft.
