    I told you recently that the understanding of socialism in the West—and my own understanding of it—are two different poles.

    That guy is very smart and well-read, but what he says… really surprises me.

    When I read his first post, I didn’t even understand which camp he belonged to… because a person cannot defend oligarchs while being a socialist. To me, that is nonsense!

      What you’ll find is that understanding of socialism in the west is largely shaped by the CIA, meaning that there is no actual understanding.

        I’m talking about that guy up above who got offended and doesn’t want to reply.

        To be honest, I read through a massive amount of text there—it’s all so impeccably written, yet the essence of it keeps slipping through my fingers… It reminds me a lot of an LSD trip… ))) “The truth is out there”—just like in The X-Files… )))

        Mind you, I don’t mean to offend anyone; I am, after all, just an ignoramus… complete with a beard, felt boots, and a balalaika… reeking of stale vodka.

        Please, don’t judge me too harshly! )))
