In his state of the nation address, April 25, Putin referred to the breakup of the Soviet Union as "the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century."

That and the things listed below are the reasons I think the Communism still rules while flying under the flag of Democracy. They still have the original intent of world domination. I also suspect that the ballyhooed nostalgia for Communism is over estimated by the controlled media thee and is willingly repeated by the internaltional leftist media.

Shortly after the break up, Pres. G.H.W. Bush sent Democrat operative and insider Bob Straus to help oversee the transition from Communism to democracy. He was to help establish a banking system, legal apparatus, infrastructure, etc. Although Straus was probably an honorable man he was a Democrat with Democrat attitudes.

However, with the 1992 election of Clinton, Straus was soon replaced with a bunch of leftist "experts" from Harvard. They advised on the system that now exists. Is it any wonder that it is what it is with the Communists still well entrenched and the oligarchs grabbing all the good stuff for fire sale prices?

“That and the things listed below are the reasons I think the Communism still rules while flying under the flag of Democracy.”

To be fair, the Communists view Communism and Democracy as being one and the same. Let’s look, for example, at some of Vladimir Lenin’s speeches:

“...at a certain stage in the development of democracy, it first welds together the class that wages a revolutionary struggle against capitalism — the proletariat — and enables it to crush, smash to smithereens, wipe off the face of the earth the bourgeois, even the republican-bourgeois, state machine — the standing army, the police and the bureaucracy — and to substitute for it a more democratic state machine, but a state machine nevertheless, in the shape of the armed masses of workers who develop into a militia in which the entire population takes part.” —Vladimir Lenin, The State and Revolution (http://www.marx.be/sites/default/files/documents/EN/texts/sr_and_sq.PDF)

“...the Social-Democrat’s [Communist’s] ideal should not be the trade union secretary, but the tribune of the people, who is able to react to every manifestation of tyranny and oppression, no matter where it appears, no matter what stratum or class of the people it affects; who is able to generalise all these manifestations and produce a single picture of police violence and capitalist exploitation; who is able to take advantage of every event, however small, in order to set forth before all his socialist convictions and his democratic demands, in order to clarify for all and everyone the world-historic significance of the struggle for the emancipation of the proletariat.” — Vladimir Lenin, What Is To Be Done?(https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1901/witbd/iii.htm)

Note how many times Lenin has used “democratic”, “democracy”, or similar terms in describing their perceived views. I just view that as another indication of how democracy is bad. Heck, that’s not even counting Vladimir Lenin’s declaration that democracy is indispensable with socialism, or Karl Marx stating that democracy is the road to socialism for that matter.

GHW Bush may have meant well, but he really shouldn’t have tried to bring “democracy” to Russia, as they technically already HAD that system via Communism (certainly, they had the French Revolution style of democracy), and not in a good way. If anything, he would have been better off trying to help the Russians restore the Tsar.
