Modern day Russia is indeed every bit a disgusting capitalist mess.

The fact that many Americans think that modern Russia is communist is a real testament to the effectiveness of US propaganda.

I might say it's a testament to American's ability to pay absolutely no attention to the world around them, and still have a huge ego trip thinking they know what's what. The first word that comes to mind when describing what capitalism did to Russia is "criminal." And I don't honestly believe the guilty parties will ever be held responsible for what they did.

yeah that's a good point as well
