    what really confuses me as a non american is against all the trained fear of communism and Russia (maybe the latter one is justified), these conservative people still went and elected the one guy who is best buddies with Putin. We are talking about people who were about to revolt because they thought medicare is communism

      I mean, not that they are ones for nuance, but I don’t think present day Russia has anything to do with communism.

        I agree but you can guess what the outcome of a poll in the US asking “is Russia a communist country” would come out as.

          Next question:

          What does or does not make Russia a communist country based on your previous answer.
