>They did NOT avoid it. They overcame it (sort of) after decades of hell. BIG DIFFERENCE!!! Please don’t romanticize Russia folks. That sound you hear is Reagan spinning in his grave!

Wow, that escalated quickly. Where did I say I hated the Russian people? I have Russian friends. No reason to call me a bigot. That’s a tactic of the Left.
