May I ask you where you live?
Because I lived in a communist country for enough time to realize USA is not going communist.
1. I live in the USA
2. Living in a communist country doesn't make you qualified to comment on whether a country is transitioning towards communism. It only qualifies you to explain what it is like to live under a communist regime after the transition is over. Unless you wish to revise it into you having lived THROUGH such a transition.
3. The hell it isn't
Do yourself a favor.
Fly to one of the ex soviet countries , but not Russia. Try to live for two months in Belarus or Turkmenistan.
It's better to lose a month of your life understanding something rather than living a whole life in a lie.
You people in the USA have no fucking idea how communism was and is.
I lived enough in both communism and capitalist regimes to tell USA has nothing to do with communism and is by no means getting closer to it.
As a Canadian who knows Americans, has had family live in and go to school in Russia under 'communism' (really authoritarian central planning where the coordinator class rules all) I can say that neither Americans nor ex-soviet block citizens know a damn thing about communism... But especially not Americans. Calling Obama socialist is SOOO rediculous. I do agree however that coordinator class authoritarianism is a basic condition that both system had alot of. In the US there are more advanced methods of control that allow for a lot more feeling of freedom.
