Naturally, the oligarchs don't want the return of communism, but, once in power, the communists will be obliged to fulfill at least some social promises they made to their impoverished electorate.

The oligarches use socialism to enhance their profit potential but have not a clue as to how to control it to keep themselves from being considered the parasites that infest societies that cherish freedom. Sounds suicidal to me.

Me too. When I see guys who have managed to accumulate billions acting stupidly, I back up and ask "What about this do I not understand?" One thing I'm sure I don't understand is Russian politics. Instead of billionaires acting stupidly, I'd bet on billionaires acting smartly in a system that has features we don't even know are features.
