There is no resurgence of Communism. This is just cronyism and oligarchy. Communism at least gave people some kind of idealist philosophy to rally around. Though we weren't expecting it just yet, and we've been preoccupied with other things -- even perhaps finding this to be "inconvenient" at this particular time, the Ukraine's velvet revolution is coming.
IMHO Communism and thuggery are synomynous, and have always have been. The "ideals" of Communism were and are
a smoke screen to charm and mislead "the masses".
