[lbo-talk] I'm a "committed Leninist"

[Chris Doss]

That Russia is no longer in that situation seems to be one of the only positive things Putin thinks about the collapse of the USSR, from what I can gather from his public statements. (And that Russia no longer wastes money, in his view, on funding revolutions and socialist governments abroad. There are a number of Soviet jokes in which Castro is depicted as sucking on Brezhnev's teat.)

Which is the story of much of the Soviet experience, no? A couple of 
world wars, a civil war, a cold war, international isolation, etc. It 
wasn't an environment in which DSA types could calmly make policy in 
a peaceful democratic setting.
