“We can live with less, for the glory of mother Russia!”

“We’ll break a few of you, for the common good”~

Yep, I just feel how excited you are over possible revival of communism in Russia.
So ‘conservative’ of you.

Possible revival nothing, Putin has been on that path for a long time.

Revival of communism? Vatnik, your country is run by "former" communists and KGB agents. Communism never left. It just lost the facade of Marxist-Leninism, leaving behind the kleptocracy and murder it was really all about to begin with.

“So far, Putin has turned to patriotism to forestall such a course correction, calling on Russians to stoically tighten their belts so the Motherland can hold on to its geopolitical ambitions.”

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Exactly. Some of the attitudes and comments shock me.

Revival?
Communism never died. It hunkered down.

[Olog-hai]

I think you missed the sarcasm.

Nobody here cheered on the reports about the Stalin rehabilitation either.

[FredZarguna]

The current Fascist dictatorship is so much more preferable.

There is something to be said for not being mired down in debt like Russia is not. I’m more worried about Communism here. Here Communists just call themselves anticapitalists.
