      The USSR is dead dipshit. It was hollowed out by capitalists a long time ago. Those capitalists are still running the country and have given no sign of reviving the USSR, no matter how much you jerk yourself off over miraculously getting the opportunity to be victimized by it. Meet us in the real world when you’re ready.

          At this rate it’s going to only take CPRF another 50 years or so to take the power, I don’t have much belief in any of the official parties doing anything useful on that front

          Is the USAmerican case being extrapolated?
          Similar to how the Democrats and Republicans are not relevant and Trump is USAmerica?

          Anyway, if that’s the case for both, then it’s pretty bad.

          I’m not Russian, nor is Putin Russia itself. Putin’s party, United Russia, is the nationalist party, and the CPRF is its largest opposition that is gaining in support.

            The US being a one party state really broke liberals’s brains into thinking that’s the only possible political outcome.

              Not even that, it’s straight up “L’État, c’est moi” but not even as hyperbole, for those people its completely unironic.

      except he is not trying to do that at all i mean it would be more accurate to say he is trying to restore the Russian empire that would be closer to accurate at least but not really that accurate either.
