This article was written by Aleksey, an ex-Soviet now American and it points out the parallels between the two. There truly is nothing new under the sun.
Dear beautiful America, please, stop moving Forward

Upon migrating to the United States many years ago, I embraced my new home and left the past behind. Never could I imagine that, at some point, that past would become relevant.
But now, I am compelled to talk about it again.
In the USSR, we had state-controlled media which shaped the narrative entirely.
Our founder, Vladimir Lenin, was portrayed as a noble, charismatic, and smart man — the champion of the underdog (the working class), the seeker of equality, defeater of the rich. The humble man with common ideas who was destined for…

It is a shocking article, isn’t it Hillbilly? If more people would just open their eyes they would realize it is time to stand up… before the time comes that they will be laying down with a boot on their throat.

As someone who shared a lot of Aleksey’s experience, I still see a stark difference between Obama and Soviet Union. Obama wouldn’t be considered a progressive hero by USSR, just like Carter, JFK, LBJ weren’t. He made a few modest steps towards socialism compared to GWB’s stance, but the USA is miles and miles away from there. Mixed up with some other developments, like some new state laws or Supreme Court’s decisions, it’s no longer even straightforward march.
I did not enjoy the life Aleksey had described, and I don’t want the same regime to pop up here – but I see socialism is a far less likely danger than turning into a corrupt banana republic ran by oligarchs for their our profit.

We are already a corrupt nation at the top level of government. Too many of these folks in both parties are in bed with globalist bankers. We no longer get to freely elect a president, both parties rig the election by selecting two candidate of their choosing. Both Bushs were horrible presidents. Obamas handlers took control of the health care and health insurance industries. We are on a downward spiral as a free nation.

I agree with most of this (except if Obama truly took control of health insurance, we’d all have Medicare now) – and I notice that you also don’t think that it’s the communists who are rigging the elections and buying up candidates.
