    she is, personally, with no consideration for her husband, extremely conservative. she’s one of those terrifying people from a soviet or post soviet state who views putin as the great protector from the evils of communism, ignoring he’s doing all the worst things about the soviet union without a single one of the upsides

      Just like Cuban-Americans who supported Trump because they hate Castro.

      Hey, dipshits, left or right, Communist or Fascist, it’s the Authoritarianism that sucks. Same shit, different flavor.

        Exactly why I consistently have called myself an anti-authoritarian. Don’t care if it’s mao or franco, they can get fucked

          I think you are still allowed to be that. Saying you are against facism (member of antifa) gets you on terrorist watch lists though.

              Communism/socialism requires some mechanism to compel cooperation with the collective’s objectives. The greater the degree of central planning, the greater the authoritarianism required to implement it. When you reach a level of centralization sufficient to justify the “communism” label, you’re well into the “authoritarian” quadrants.

        Once you get around to a one-party state left and right become meaningless and they meet back up.

      Her father was a fucking commie party member who was busted for tax evasion and he has a US passport. WTF, ICE should kick his ass out.
