Soviet Communism Was an Unmitigated Disaster, Not a 'Pivotal Experiment'

At first I thought you wrote : Ted Bundy was a pivotal experiment in speed racing. LOL

Ah, yes, the new course hasn’t been firmly determined yet...though the guy holding all the levers of real power for over 10 years is an ex-KGB general. “Ex-KGB” meaning about the same as “Ex-mafioso” - i.e. there is not such thing. Oh, and the guy is in his early 60s and works out, so he’ll be around for another 20 years or more.

Nah, the course isn’t set...any more than the Earth revolves around the Sun.

What’s so “pivotal” about centrally-planned government, food rationing, prison labor camps, a secret police, and millions of deaths? Much to the chagrin of NBC, the Bolshevik coup d’état and Joseph Stalin’s reign of terror comprised the so-called “pivotal experiment” in Russia.

Phuck Peter Dinlage, phuck Matt Lauer, phuck NBC and phuck anyone with any sympathy for Russian Communism! It was the worst scourge of at least the 20th Century, and we are still dealing with its evil effects (Communist China, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, the entire Arab terrorist infrastructure, a subverted educational system, a subverted media, and a thoroughly infiltrated government). My grandfather ran from those MF'ers Lenin, Stalin and Trotsky - and those of his family left there (parents and 5 brothers and sisters) lost all of their property (except one house) and lived in miserable conditions and in fear of the NKVD or the KGB breaking down the door and taking one or more of them away.

Experiment? Anyone who says that is a knowing liar, and damned near as bad as the perps. @ssholes!

Well, you are partially correct. The other part of the equation is the economy. The economic course has not gelled yet.

It will be after Putin when the current young age enough to take command for the economy to do well.
