Fred Weir's article is interesting. How anyone can believe that Putin is an anti-imperialist is astonishing. He is just another vicious criminal, helping loot the Russian economy and repress the people. In Weir's piece a former Putin spokesperson suggests that the arrests and long imprisonment of innocent people is justified because of reasonable government concern about past anti-state actions that caused the collapse of the government. The first one he refers to is obviously the Bolshevik revolution! Amazing. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
