I'm a big fan of communism and a huge detractor of western imperialism (without quotes) but Jesus some people and their fucking Russian apologism is just ridiculous. Have you seen the way the common person lives in Russia? Its not good, and they definitely don't have any ownership of the means of production... Russia is just capitalism with a bit of extra fascism thrown in.

Also people who support communism shouldn't support Russia anyway. They have nothing in common.

I'd call it an oligarchy or cronyism. It's not a free market when the market is handed to Putin's sycophants.
