I do believe you are on to something. Russia been trying to get rid of this radical socialistic- communism crap at least trying to distance itself from it, while some of these dumb bastards here in the US been embracing it and think it is the next best thing to sliced bread.
What color is the sky on your planet?
As Russia has concluded communism is evil, the communist sympathizers in the USA have doubled down on implementing it.
However, their concentration of power among the elites is not quite welcoming individual freedoms and equal justice.
They seem to have as far to go to achieve a moral free market capitalism and we have to re-achieve it.
That’s a sad state of affairs for both nations. Unfortunately we’re going the wrong direction.
