You’re right. For a while Russia might have been considered a “regular” capitalist society following the cold war, at least by popular opinion in the west, but they’ve driven further and further into kleptocracy and facism. Of course, facism can be wrapped in a capitalist or communist flag. One may be a better breeding ground for facism but it can root anywhere.
True. But there’s this kind of nostalgia for communism and what started the revanchism of the late '90s in KGB officials and Putin that stopped Russia’s evolution in a free country. Kind of sad, they have now the worst of both worlds
Man anti-communism propaganda is so ingrained yet they still don’t know how real communism work (not saying is good though).
Same as using facism for anything red-wing.
Ironically, Russia doesn’t even follow communist ideals. They are communist in name only.
