      Putin is a hard line communist. Do you know what that means? And I’m not talking about the socioeconomic philosophy of communism, I’m referring to the oppressive totalitarian “commies” who slaughtered millions of Russians and set up the entire “black market” economy (now called “oligarchs”).

      History is important in understanding context.

        Putin is a violent, ruthless dictator supported by a corrupt oligarchy. While he might claim to borrow ideas from communism, 9/10 people I have heard supporting communism hate Putin.

        And while I don’t really like conservatives, I also think it’s unfair to most conservatives to pretend Trump is “just conservative”.
