Hold on while I kill your father for dissenting. Oh and your best friends have just been taken to a Gulag for keeping enough food on their farm so they don't starve. You've just been told your new job is as a miner in unsafe conditions, where you will be working for 10+ hours a day. After work you get to wait in line for bread and other essential foodstuffs for 2-3 hours.

Longbow, yes he transformed the nation and ensured it didn't fall to the Nazis... but when the Nazis have a better human-rights track record you might have to question whether what he did was correct. Oh sure Hitler was a racist cuntface, but Stalin was an indiscriminate murderer on a scale never known to man.

Dayarath, Stalin was not a communist. He could be described as a Leninist, but he adapted Lenin's proposed methods into his own specific political methodology and ideology. Communism according to Marx's Manifesto has never and probably will never exist. I can't believe I'm doing this but... Well, a movie said it best.

Enemy at the Gates said it best, 'Men will never be equal. There will always be those rich in gifts, poor in gifts, rich in love, poor in love.' Communism doesn't work because not everybody is created equal and jealousy can never be eliminated. Unless you managed to warp society so much you can produce something like that which is described in Huxley's Brave New World.

Where's Putin headed with this? Is the Opposition Leader in Russia correct in claiming that Putin is attempting to steer Russia into another dictatorship?

Yep...  Putin's pretty crazy.

My country has a military alliance with the USA. So if the shit hits the fan between Russia and the USA, I could end up in the middle of it given my current choice of career.

Who talked about war? Its the country's inside bussines. Don't mean to be harsh but why should it bother YOU? You don't even live THERE.
