The conflict right now is between modernized *Stalinism* vs. Judeo-Christian democratic society.
And there is no place for Bolshevik Stalinism in a truly Christian civilization.
And yes the Soviet Union had “elections” too.
The Communists get between 10-15% of the vote.
Russians know who they are from experience and left-wing ideology has limited appeal in Russia.
While Americans talk about we need to try socialism.
Whatever one thinks of Putin’s Russia, there is no mood to return to the Soviet days.
