The worldwide left is silly. Remember it was they who defended communist Soviet Russia forever, but now that their fellow travelers are starting to be beaten in elections around the world there has to be a scapegoat. Looks like Russia is it!

If Bannon replicates conservative success in Europe - and he’s been working on it for years - I will commission a bronze statue of him for the garden.

I notice the left is accusing Russia of undermining and harming the flagbearers of communism, and socialist thought in the west?

I think they are angry at Russia for walking away from communism. Russia was their rock and now its gone. Communism in Russia is over in the gadfly corner of politics.
The left is in a rage, like a girlfriend sashing the tires of the man who walked away from them.

Are Russian former communists the only leftists in the world who learned from communism’s catastrophic failure every single time it was tried. Apparently the Ctrl-Left isn’t just evil; they are slow learners too.
