Communism was the best thing that ever happened to Russia, and Russia was the worst thing to ever happen to communism.
We advocate against human rights violations, not for them. What, you think capitalism cradles and comforts children? Russia has only ever known corruption by the wealthy and powerful. Stop guzzling what you're fed and realize that progress takes time and failure and effort. Just because Russia couldn't pull it off, you think it's impossible for the West to make it work?
