Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what is for dinner.

You’re right that the EU is fully communist and worse. Yet people will keep cheerleading them.

Why? One answer: Russians. “I will drag this country kicking and screaming into the modern world if I must!’’ said Peter The Great.

Peter tried, with some success but Ivan is stuck in his ways.

It is a very simplistic take. In ease of business ratings pre-war Russia was ahead of Canada and most of European countries.

“It was a colossal mistake to try to turn Russia into some kind of Milton Friedman economic libertarian experiment, and it led directly to Putin and what is happening today.”

Nearly all post commie countries went through that, most of them successfully. Rus humanoids can't govern themselves so they fucked up and then blamed the whole world for that.

Russia’s still a socialist “utopia” that the Left wants us to become, along with all of the corruption and tyranny.
