Is there really an election in Russia?.

No-hopers join Russia's one-horse election race
By Julius Strauss in Moscow January 13, 2004

(Article Snippet) "In a practice not seen in Russia since Soviet times, the Kremlin has put forward its own men to stand against Vladimir Putin in the presidential election in March"

I believe Communism is very much alive. Communism has not died, but it's main ideas have been absorbed into other political ideologies

There are 'Communist' parties in many countries, but only few governments today are controlled by 'Communists'. Many Communist ideas are alive and well right here in our own country.

Not all communists practice communism as proscribed by Marx and Engels, but several current and recent leaders have used communism to their advantage. Did you know North Korea's Kim Il Sung joined the Communist Party in his teens and worshipped Stalin?

And right you are.

American communism (more commonly known as Political Correctness) follows the ideology of Italian Communist theorician Antonio Gramsci. Their biggest weapon: communist dialects.
