Re: Why did the USSR fall

["Chris Doss" <nomorebounces@xxxxxxx>]

I think this is absolutely correct:

"I do not state that Putin is ideologically or emotionally against the bourgeois property relations and its unique signature of reproduction, but he is a product of Sovietism and has a certain "dislike" for the capitalist class in the flesh.

"I do not believe Putin to be a Russian version of Bush Jr., or Clinton for that matter but something else. He has inherited recent Soviet history and as the send largest armaments exporter is going to remilitarize Russian society or get kicked out of office by a powerful wing of intelligence. He also inherited the economic relationship of Russia proper to its less developed regions - vassals, and this economic relationship will not be broken"
