not even close.What happened in Russia is actually pretty consistent with what Conservatives do. They rail against the elitists or, in this case, the "bourgeoisie" but also claim we need to get tough and use government power to kick out the elitists. Then once they're in power, they drastically grow the size of government for themselves.
I'm sure there are plenty of Communists who want true Communism, but the movement can very easily be hijacked by Fascists like the Bolsheviks.
Liberals and cons alike grow the size of the US government. In this case they are one and the same
get your head out of the books, and live in the real world
BTW the populists (not cons/Dems/Libs/ or Repubs) are the antidote to elitism



Very interesting...... A win win..
