You commented but you did not answer my question, call it what you will USSR
or Russia, the facts remain the same. 

So again can you own property, granted everyone knows what China is. 
Communist for sure... but what of Russia?

To be honest with you Alexander, I have more freedoms then you do, but
those freedoms do not make me better then you. The comments that were made
previously about capitalism not being a good thing, and there were some
comments that were made about the U.S. going down hill, basically they were not
nice comments or remotely true, so I was defending my country and I guess in a
small way President Trump and every other hard working American who loves the
his or her country. The U.S. finally has a President who wants to Make
America Great Again, instead of the former President who wanted to implode it
from within. 

I have no beef with you per say but when I hear that communism and other
things are existing that cause suppression and then I read in here how
wonderful it is and even calling it better than our system, well, I will
stand up.

Biggest opposition of Putin's United Russia (center right party) is Communist
party.

No one is kicking down their doors, no one is jailing their politicians, no
one is shutting down their newspapers and publications, no one is preventing
their speakers from speaking.
