This article went viral back in the spring. I find it interesting that this Mishin (if that is his real name) is so quick to criticize the US. Let's see, during the cold war, the USSR was building weapons instead of feeding its citizens, later the Soviet economy completely collapsed and the Berlin Wall came tumbling down, then the whole country split into pieces. Yes, let's listen to this product of such success. Anybody ever read Doctor Zhivago? Give me a break.

This slanted highly opinionated article selectively takes some facts and half-truths and jumps to twisted conclusions. It completely ignores the fact that the present economic crisis was caused, not by marxism or the current administration, but by unregulated capitalism run amok. Did marxists create credit default swaps?

Good article, makes a lot of very interesting points.
I want to share this, however, the link doesn't take me to the article. Could you try linking us up again?
Try this for the link ...

http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/107459-1/

it worked for me. I don't know where the [similar] link in my post came from ... at least I can't retreive it.
