Topic: Communism vs. capitalism
Quote: Communism meaning the government russia had from the 1940s to 1990. Democratic- republic: the government the US has today.
Response: Well, in that case I would go for the US government any day. Soviet russia was so far removed from the communist ideals of equality as contemporary Russia. Power, wealth and influence was concentrated in a precious elite... In fact, it`s probably the same elite that rules Russia today. I can`t think of any Soviet benefits over US-style democracy, apart from the societ educational system (but that`s not even entirely a political issue).
