Hi, Gregory Deyss!

  ak>> IMHO, it is not correct to speak about Communism in the USSR. The
  ak>> USSR was a country which _tried_ to go in the direction of
  ak>> Communism. During its history the USSR approached differently
  ak>> towards the private property, like it has been in China. The
  ak>> difference is in the direction towards isolation. The USSR went to
  ak>> isolation and dictatorship, China goes from it.

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

Anyway it was not Communism or you use this word incorrectly.

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

I said that there were different periods in the USSR. Before Gorbachev 
if a person bought or built a house, car etc -- it was called a personal 
property. Plants and factories were part of state economy. After 
perestroika in the USSR there appeared some private plants and legal 
millionaires.

The difference between new capitalistic Russia and present day China is 
the different way of a private sector creation. China just created the 
ground for private economy thriving, while new Russian guys preferred 
ransacked everything that was working. New Russians got their fortunes 
for nothing, without hard work. They should have built new economy, new 
plants, but they instead enjoyed dividing something that never worked 
effectively. ;-) That was the reason of the new Russian economy 
collapse. Well, I distracted, however.



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

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

At least you see that Communism itself is not a clear identification 
mark for dictatorship and unfreedom.
The US Martin Luther King, Jr.'s democracy, is very young. Everything 
can happen. In the US freedom has been significantly curtailed during 
last decades.

Bye, Gregory!
