Not Putin's hero. He observed, "The Soviet Union was established in the place of the former Russian Empire in 1922." Putin then denounces "Red Terror and a rapid slide into Stalin’s dictatorship, the domination of the communist ideology and the Communist Party’s monopoly on power, nationalisation and the planned economy." (Address by the President of the Russian Federation, February 21, 2022, http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/67828 ) Putin shares the standard anti-communism of the Hoover Institute and Trotsky---s like Reimann himself. And Putin pointedly declares that his rule will not resemble that of Stalin when it comes to nationalization and planned economy. Capitalism first, battles among capitalist powers second! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
