For sure if the 'ism' is kind of rife with pathology. And we've seen that.
Btw I'd love to discuss Russia's 'ism'. Frankly I don't know what to call the thing people do economic transaction under over there. Are we sure it doesn't have say a derivative of 'klepto' somewhere in the description???...;-)...
Of course I say that sarcastically but are the Russian people living a good quality of life for their efforts? I'm not sure it's happening. If we can say the slope of the line which indicates prosperity is rising over there well all power to Putinomics. But I don't believe the stat flows upward. The real qUestion is whether or not Putin is giving a better future for the Russian people.

Comparably to the nineties, when the country was run by beloved (by the West) Yeltsin - yes.
So when you say "better future" - it's all learned in comparison.

Stop deflecting. We're discussing Ukraine, not Russia. This post is garbage.
They have far more foreign exchange reserves this time.
"As in Mexico, Indonesia, Korea, and Thailand, the IMF has prescribed that Russia run its economy for the benefit of foreign investors and a few wealthy Russians at the expense of the Russian people. The results are clear: a few world-class billionaires, combined with economic collapse, soaring debt, mass unemployment, grinding poverty, and unpaid wages and pensions."
Spot on.
So there we go, that's precisely what took place, and with that any chance for future democracy in Russia has been buried for good, because Western style of democracy is closely connected to the private property rights and extensive middle class, that very obviously IMF\Clintons\ whoever else was in that wonderful company, decided to eliminate as potential threat to their own prosperity and world domination.
Now they are all in denial, pointing their finger at Russians and their "wicked ways." No democracy in Russia! ( whatdoyouknow) and Putin-the-dictator!!!!
I know they're setting up Ukraine for the same process they used on Russia in the early 1990s, tear everything down and exploit the country. The people are in for hard times either way now, either road they're being offered leads to poverty and chaos and at worst, open warfare.
Mexico has never recovered from this. Large portions of the population live in almost permanent poverty while small groups prosper wildly, it's the same where ever this system is imposed.
Also elect a president from KGB if you see real threats to national security over the last 20 years.
1. NATO expansion while Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact are no longer threats
2. US missile batteries set up along the borders of Russia (another 1426 mi with Ukraine)
3. State Dept. NED support for regime destabilization in Ukraine, Georgia, and other Russian republicans
4. foreign covert support for violent separatist groups inside the Russian republics like the Chechens
5. continued Western military intervention and regime destabilization in the 3rd world under the guise of the War on Terror while there's no longer the military presence of Russians, Cubans, East Germans, and other communists in those countries contested by the two side during the Cold War
Citizens in other areas are getting diluted gas, much less efficient than pure methane gas. They add other gases and more air to the mix in order to maintain the pressure.
