Deputies from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation will submit to the State Duma a bill providing for a reduction in working hours for Russians to six hours a day.According to RIA Novosti, the authors of the initiative claim that the goal of the project is to establish an optimal working week of no more than 30 hours.
It’s something I have been hoping for. Despite the constant propaganda by the West, Putin isn’t an idiot. He was around when the USSR was alive. Surely he knows that it’s inevitable that socialism will win. He can’t stop it. So I hope when the time comes, he knows there’s no way out and gives up power.
But that’s an idealist stance. Capitalism isn’t overthrown that easily. Putin will be put on a pike by the oligarchs long before they give up their wealth.
But then again, Russia is a unique case in the sense that it had a fully socialist economy, regressed, but still maintains its industrial base as well as socialist cultural elements from its history. And it was never infected with Western capitalism like former Soviet states. Systematic dismantling of communist elements never happened in Russia
