Intolerance towards the enemies of communism, peace, and freedom of nations.

Sure, Soviet people never lived up to 12 commandments (or 10 commandments for that matter), but nevertheless the code provided some sort of the moral backbone that post soviet "each man for himself" global world lack (big time).
You don't ask any questions nor do you get anyone involved in a discussion...
Do you just like to post Wikisource links?
Ot is there another C-D contest coming up?
Since, I don't expect even people like plwhit to have many objections to the highlighted sentences, what can I say, except that a bird of the private self-interest is worth ten birds in the bush of the "public good", it doesn't matter that resulting dog-eat-dog environment drives us crazy (literally). It's just informational post. Have you read Moral Code before (assuming you've read it now, not a fact )?

So every time someone posts a highlighted sentence that means it denotes a subject or topic of discussion?
You do realize the topics of this forum?

*NOT* the FYI forum..... (the bold text does not denote a discussion topic or FYI)....
Could you be civil and acknowledge what I posted in #2, those leaders had the same "moral codes" as ????? in 1961?
So every time someone posts a highlighted line that means it denotes a subject or topic of discussion?
I've read many single sentence posts on CD offering no subject (or an opinion) for discussion or author' participation for that matter, but nevertherless those posts triggered 50+ pages of discussion unrelated to the original sentence.
It's extremely unlikely in this case, but common, I cited 12 commandments, I highlighted the ones that even heritage foundation members cannot object much, I stated that despite the fact that 12 Soviet Commandments were not revered (at all) by the Soviet citizenry they provided some sort of positive direction for the social mores, that positive direction is lost and trampled down in the post soviet "each man for himself" countries.
As the very least you could write that Moral Code is a reason communism can never work, and that's why free market rooted in self-interest is the king I would have written that you are wrong, because what makes Russia and USA different today is the fact that ruggedly individualistic American elites promotes social cohesion (no matter how fake that looks) and totalitarian Putin embraced more social Darwinian Approach, the very same Putin who memorized Moral Code because it was expected of the Law students back then.

Russians, like members of all organic societies, had a moral code. Communism replaced it. Then when Communism went away there was nothing left strong enough to stop the descent into criminality.
