You can replace Russia with North Korea if it suits you, I forgot to include that one. Yes, the USSR was communist, while modern day Russia much less so. Doesn't change my point and doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about.

Modern Russian is a capitalist oligarchy. Your entire position is based on ignorance of how the world functions.

You point out one quasi-mistake I made and all of a sudden my entire position is false and based on ignorance of how the world functions?

People like you are what make the internet a shitty place to be sometimes.

It’s not a quasi-mistake, it’s an error that betrays at best a bad case of brainworms and at worst a grievous misunderstanding of history that may well have happened in your lifetime.

Dude, what you just said is on the level of saying 2+2=5. Or, "like any forms of sandwich, bananas are sentient." It was THAT level of incorrect and detached from reality.
