Upon closer examination, it turns out that the principles described in the declaration are clearly not in great demand among the Western public.

Then why do you people care?

Today’s Russia is an absolutely capitalist state.

Thank you for stating the obvious. While you are at it, maybe you can remind us that Sudetenland was capitalist, too.

This is another very bland article. When it isn’t glossing over communist arguments without comment, it’s filled with the typical oversimplifications and common misunderstandings that communists have already addressed repeatedly. Just because I’m disinterested in going on and on about how much Putin sucks doesn’t mean that my sentiment is ‘Putin good’.

Focussing on the Russian Federation only distracts us from the real causes of this conflict and how Western capitalists set the stage for it. But I’m unsurprised that these dullards care less about that and far more about an unpopular minority.
