Russia isn’t even leftist? It’s oil oligarchy and kleptocracy. They love authoritarianism, they don’t give a shit about economics.
They turn all the lights out at night because everyone voted for it, not because they are a failing authoritarian state that struggles to keep their grid running. Allows for great stargazing from the very normal hard labor camps.
This sheriff would need to check the color of their hat before he agrees or not. And the color of their skin.
That’s fantastic. Someone should tell Hexbear we can get to communism by simply giving billionaires all the remaining money.
