...can be blamed on Marxism and Leninism.
Well yeah, you can blame it. Doesn't make it true. Of course a country can't magically be divorced from what happened 20 years ago, but the point behind my sarcasm was it is exceptionally naive to assume Russia's problems were caused solely because it was nominally communist.
- derleth 13y ago> it was nominally communist. Not just nominally. It went down the list of the Communist Manifesto and implemented things, and it wound up with Stalin.

- derleth 13y agoIn your mind, has Communism ever been responsible for bad things happening? Could I prove to you, even in theory, that Communism has bad outcomes? What kind of evidence would I need?
- mehwoot 13y agoWoah, I didn't know when one thing preceded another that it is certain that thing caused the other. Thanks for opening my eyes.
