Communists in America, A.K.A the “Democratic” Party, used to love the Soviet Union because it was the champion of the Socialist International and push for communism to dominate the world. When the Soviet Union collapsed, and Russia became its own nation, it started to focus on its own development and people and gave up on the worldwide push for communism under the Socialist International and the Communist International (”Comintern”). Ever since that time, the communist in America hated Russia and we see the results of that now with CIA take over the Ukraine and starting a massive land war.

The International Socialist Commission (ISC), also known as the Berne International, was formed in February 1919 at a meeting in Bern by parties that wanted to resurrect the Second International. In March 1919, Communist parties formed the Communist International (”Comintern”), the Third International, at a meeting in Moscow, right after the communist revolution in Russia.
Make no mistake, today’s globalists are just the latest version of the Communist International (”Comintern”) and they cannot stand that Russia is no longer a part of that movement.
MeganC, you are backing godless, bloodthirsty totalitarians and, if you are not directly benefiting from it, you are a fool.

Interesting timing on your comment.
Last week on another forum I frequent someone brought up the name of Gilbert Doctorow in the same statement as Scott Ritter, Doug Macgregor, and Gonzalo Lira.
I had never heard of Doctorow before so I went digging.
Doctorow is a self-proclaimed Russianist and Ruscist. He’s currently a close friend of, colleague, and collaborator of noted pro-Soviet Communist Noam Chomsky.
Trying to keep this post short let me say that this exercise in reasearching Doctorow opened my eyes with regards to Putin vis-a-vis the Davos Globalists and people like Doctorow and Chomsky who pine away for the glory days of Soviet Communism.
Doctorow and Chomsky are the ‘Communists in America’ you speak of. No doubt about it as they say so themselves.
And they both hold pro-Putin positions but with some subtle differences between them and Putin.
Up until I read about Doctorow I considered Putin to be a Soviet revanchist even to the point of Putin supporting a return to Communist Party control of Russia or a renewed USSR.
But what I realized is that while Putin wants a new Russian Empire that will rule over what the USSR used to rule that he does not want communism. He wants Soviet-style authoritarianism and in this much Doctorow and Chomsky support him.
Doctorow and Chomsky are conspicuously silent about Putin’s economic policies and economic strategies.
They’re similarly silent about the economic policies and economic strategies of the Davos Globalists.
Which leads me to believe that there is a schism between the old school 1930’s to 1980’s vintage communists like you mention and the Davos Globalists.
Doctorow and Chomsky want global communism.
Putin wants Russia to be an empire again and one that holds economic power over countries outside of its immediate sphere of control (like China with the failing Belt and Road program).
The Davos Globalists might have communists in their number but the overarching desire of the Davos Globalists is to kill off a fair number of the human race. The policies they pursue put them at odds with traditional communism that leveraged agriculture and industry to control the population.
The Davos Globalists consistently oppose agriculture and industry. These two sectors go hand in hand to make it possible for humanity to consist of some eight billion people. Getting rid of these two sectors is a means of collapsing the human population.
Population reduction puts Davos at odds with Putin’s Russia that is desperate to increase its population.
It also puts Davos at odds with the old school communists who look to those sectors as levers to control a population.
I’m not a fan of any of the three of them.
In any case, I thought you might find these comments interesting.
