Vast difference between sunny capitalistic* California vs cold communist Russia.
A Leftist is about to get mugged by reality.
* - for all the Leftist BS of CA, it’s still fundamentally capitalistic as all are free to take most any job, or start any business, they like (they’ll just be hassled by the government). _Real_ communism is far more limited & stark than what’s enjoyed in CA.
Russia is no longer a communist country.
