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

      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

        It is a right wing fascist dictatorship.

        Descended from a communist bureaucratic corporation (USSR was technically that). This for me is the scariest argument against corporations as a form of organization - they breed inside themselves the kind of parasites that can’t survive in smaller hosts.

        Also I have doubts against mixing right-wing and fascist, in some sense fascism for the right-left category is what null is for boolean types. There are right ideologies, there are left ideologies, fascism is about lack of any consistency in ideology.

      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).
