I hope not.

However, tRant has at least one who claims to be a communist rooting for Mother Russia.

Is he trolling? Perhaps. Likely even.

Yet, he's steadfastly maintained the same story for years; he is of Russian heritage, visits Russia as often as possible, and is highly critical of the American way of life.

Russia is not a true communist government.

I can see him rooting for Cuba, venezuela, or North Korea, however.

there's a difference between being critical of our government and being critical of our standard of living

FIFY

Don't go tell a Russian they are a communist country. They will be EXTREMELY offended. To them, communism (and the USSR) is a 70 year dark period in Russian history. They are a Christian nation that was under the oppression of communism for several decades, and really the government isn't communist anymore, much more of just a socialist dictatorship.

Putin is doing his best to take the country back to full blown communism, but don't take my word as gospel

I won't take your word since you don't have a clue what 'communism' is.

Do you not know the fundamental difference in just the concepts between "communism" and "dictatorship"?

You seem to think those words mean the same thing but you wouldn't say "capitalism" is the same as "democracy."

Georgia would be the best. Or, Ukraine.

I'm not rooting for Russia but I'm only watching to see if there's any gay bashing or terror attempts
