    With gorbachev it was a turn to democratic liberal capitalism, with trump its a turn to autocratic neo-mercantalism fascism.

    Nothing about Russia after the USSR is democratic, not even the dissolution. As for the US, yeah its just fascism, fits the mold quite well.

      not even the dissolution

      Especially not the dissolution. They had a referendum to attempt to legitimize the dissolution, which failed in a landslide, and then they ignored it and did it anyway.
