i disagree that the russian hammer and sickle is something to kneel before.
the russians, notably stalin, did not practice pure socialism.
the russians are the reason why it is such a nasty topic of debate and an evil way of thinking.
they fucked it up for everybody who wishes to discuss socialism.
china is a little better, but not much. they still have an elite class who calls all the shots and takes for themselves an unfair portion of what they have produced.
contempt for the hammer and sickle of the Soviet flag.
interest for the true concepts of communism.
