    If you’re genuinely curious then you can read chapters 6 and 7 in this book on how Russia transitioned into capitalism https://valleysunderground.files.wordpress.com/2020/04/blackshirts-and-reds-by-michael-parenti.pdf

    Meanwhile, the current party is basically controlled opposition. Russia is now ruled by capitalists just the same way as western countries are.

    Why do you pretend that China has not got the second biggest prison population?

    Why do you still pretend that it does when I gave you two separate sources saying that it does not. Do you not understand the concept of per capita perhaps?

    How many political prisoners does the west have, aside from Assange, compared to the Soviet Union?

    This is your idiotic argument, so why don’t you tell me.

    How many Soviets were arrested for making jokes as opposed to Westerners?

    Show me Soviets who were arrested for making jokes.

    How many people left communist countries than leave capitalist ones?

    Tiny percentage of people left communist countries, meanwhile people who’d love to leave capitalist countries don’t have the means to.

    You keep on digging there buddy, can’t believe you do this clown act for free.

        No, Marxism does not advocate violent revolution. I’ve explained this to you earlier, but due to poor reading comprehension you’re still repeating falsehoods here. What Marxism says is that the conditions that capitalism creates ultimately lead to revolutions.

        Why haven’t the Russians overthrown Putin yet?

        Because conditions aren’t right. Again, if you weren’t an ignoramus, and actually read about history of revolutions, you’d understand when and why they happen. You can start by reading this book from Ray Dalio who is a very successful capitalist, so can’t be accused of being a Marxist.

        Why haven’t the Russians supported the coup against Gorbachev to retain the Soviet Union if they are indeed supportive

        They did, and I linked you a book discussing this in detail in the comment you’re replying to. You obviously didn’t read the linked source because you are just a troll and aren’t actually interested in answers to the questions you ask in bad faith.

        To sum up, you don’t actually care about answers to the questions you’re asking. You are here to troll and that’s just pathetic to be honest.
