    I can’t really see him embracing communism to be honest. He’s been fairly vocal in saying he thinks USSR was a failure. But, people are starting to realize that not everything was bad in USSR, and that it got a lot of things right.

      Hmm, are we coming to the place where “socialism” is “communism lite?” I’m really tired and probably shouldn’t be posting right now, but we’ll see.

        In Marxist terminology, socialism is a transitional stage where existing capitalist relations persist, but the working class holds power in society. So, if Russia can get to a place where there is a communist party firmly in charge the way there is in China, then it would enter socialist stage of development.
