They suppress their people, restrict the outside world from their gaze , ensure they don't educate themselves fully to the global world resulting in a mass of people unable to think for themselves , or seek a democratic modern society with inclusivity.

Ironically the wealthy Russians do enjoy those global freedoms of knowledge and wealth.

Such hypocrisy.

You do talk some total shite, don't you?

Putin's Russian nationalism has nothing to do with Bolshevism. What do you think happened in 1917 or the years after until Stalin grabbed power? And I can't imagine the people of Leningrad or Moscow in 1945 putting up with the mafia, the neo-Nazis with fascist emblems, or the oligarchs who have all had free reign in capitalist Russia since the wall came down.

Your random and skewed list of 'covert state terrorism' includes Ireland where the state using terror was the British state. Well done!

Still, I'm sure Gluey will appreciate your attempt at support for his late re-imagining of this thread.
