Communisim, by the Marxist definition, never existed...

According to Marx (Lenin and Stalin), the Socialism/Communism satarts with Dictatorship of Proletariat. Goal ('scientifically' motivated!) of this ditatorship is to suppress resistance of capitalists and their allies (very flexible formula, anyone may be - and were - included). GULAG was a Marxism at its extreme. Period

Sorry, I studied it all...

And China will then see you as the threat rather than us.

Who is you and who is us here? I am a Russian resident of Arizona, just for giggles...

You have to have your aluminum deflector beanie on too tight to think the Russians are as unfree as they were seventeen years ago.

Where did I say this?! Plus I am not accustomed to wear aluminum deflector beanies. Long exposure to Marxist ideology made my skull a perfect shield against idiotic propaganda [like in the posted article]

I was speaking of the pure, unrealized (and unrealizable) Marxisim, not the applied Marxist-Lenninism. You know, that "Dialectic Materialism" gobbledy-gook they teach in philosopy class. That "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" stuff is just high-falutin' cover the despots used for killing off their enemies.

The "you" refrence was general, not specific. When the Russians are a free and a growing ecomic power, the Chinese will see them as the primary threat in the years to come. Why worry about the corrupting capitalist nation on the other side of the Pacific when there's one right next door?
