Burlusconi is pretty much right, Putin isn't communist, although he is authoritarian.
He wants to be in charge of Russia, but he doesn't seem to have commie beliefs. More like a dictator than a communist lol.
The only thing the commies believe in is the power, and its abuse [naturally]. All the rest is a sham. Thus any dictator, or would-be dictator, has pretty serious communist leanings as a minimum, and usually is a communist [behaviorally]. Hillary is a commie in this sense.
