I don’t know that I’d call them communist honestly. They have a pretty equal blend of capitalism and communism.

There’s capitalism and communism in both, but first and foremost they’re dictatorships.

Russia is more capitalist then we are.

I don’t see how you could say after ‘shock therapy’ that Russia is still a blend of communism in good faith.

Like, I’m not trying to say Russia is a democracy, because obviously it isn’t, but the communist party is explicitly banned in Russia.

Its shorthand for those who suck off Russia and China. If you are a communist who understands that those two countries are the exact opposite of ideals we should shoot for, you are not a Tankie
