Communism is dead in Russia.
It is alive and well in America.
Russia is an authoritarian state. It allows private property now. Functionally it’s economy & society is not unlike the old Czarist regimes. The old hereditary noble classes are now replaced by recent (Since the fall of the USSR!) kleptocratic class. This kleptocratic class will likely evolve into a hereditary class. They’ll probably not use the word noble to describe themselves, but they’ll be just as exclusionary and autocratic.
Definitely alive here particularly at the elite universities and pushed by Ratland also. Ratlanders know it’s the only way they can stay in power because their policies fail! Always!
