russia is a good example of Communism

Years of communism will:

- Divide and reduce the size of your country
- Instill fear amongst younger generation
- more citizens will escape abroad
- harvest anger and corruption
- harvest narcissism
- encourage never-ending, senseless wars

What else? 😏

Depends how you define communism. It's hard to argue that property was owned collectively by the people in the USSR, considering that all property was controlled by the government and the government didn't represent the people.

That said, it was a stunning indictment of the concept of attempting to instate socialism through violent revolution.

@BlueVeins Granted that it has been through a tumultuous past, with great leaders like Lenin etc….but looking at a bird’s eye view, russia has shrinked in size…and peoples voices are suppressed.

My friend at Berkeley was a russian immigrant, a lesbian who ran from there along with her now wife. She still lives in fear…

@Vivaci yeah, Russia's a fucked up country, feel horrible for the poor folks stuck there. ):

Vivaci

@BlueVeins yup…The rich are corrupt and vile, and the poor are stuck there…wishing they could escape…how horrible it must be to be born and live in such countries as citizens! 😖

@Vivaci the saddest part is that Russia has really good geography and easily could have been rich with better governance.

@BlueVeins Right? Good values, a democratic govt solely concentrating on improving the quality of living, and using resources for development and prosperity would have worked in its favor.

It even owns the largest, richest part of Artic circle.

@Vivaci russis has an astronomical amount of arable land, oil, and mineral wealth too. It's right between the EU & PRC, and it can gain access to the Atlantic and Pacific given decent cooperation with its neighbors. I get that the NATO countries aren't innocent in what's happened with them, but at some point Russia has to take responsibility for its own actions.

@Vivaci I thought the size of Russia remained constant before, during and after being a component of the USSR, like all the other "republics" in the USSR? In any event, it is bizarre to see Europeans being the dominant demographic in North Asia today, seems like another relic of colonial imperialism.

Are you saying the dictatorship of the Soviet Union caused the dictatorship of post-Soviet Russia?

Vivaci

@SW-User Exactly! russia (pitin) is trying to build back ussr…

I don’t get it…what has communism given to russia? Why can’t he let the democratic countries thrive and understand that it’s a more stable and prosperous govt than whatever it is that his autocratic ass wants to enforce?

Dshhh · M

@BlueVeins indeed sir. communism or any other alternative will fail if it is force used to achieve it
