What are you talking about? When Yeltsin became president the Soviet Union had collapsed, taking communism with it.

Yeltsin was a reformer anyway, to say that a visit to a US supermarket made him a capitalist is fantasy, mastubatory fantasy.

Did you actually watch the video? I did not say the the visit to Food Town made him a capitalist. Things turned around for the Russian people from not having any choices to having some freedoms. Is that not a good thing? My point is that if people are so hot on socialism and communism look at the imagery in the video and the Russian grocery store. I want people to ask themselves if is that what they want for themselves and their future generations here in America? That's what will come if we don't red pill normies, too many people have their eyes on all the free stuff they think that they're going to get. All we're going to get is slavery.

No, they turned around because communism collapsed due to the polices of Gorbachev, not because of the drunkard Yeltsin

And don't forget that Yeltsin sold state holdings (energy companies, railroad, aviation, etc.) for ridiculously low prices to his rich oligarch friends, screwing over the people of Russia.

This was the reason that Putin rose to power: he saw how Yeltsin and his oligarch friends were robbing the Russian people and he wanted to fight that.

I think it is wrong for any government leaders to get rich off of the system. I think we need to educate as many people as possible about history that either most people have forgotten or they're too young to remember. Every week we are barraged by a blown up, single news story (ex. Smollet) that distracts us from looking at the big picture. We forget or are distracted and don't remember what happened a year ago or two years ago and we need to keep reminding ourselves of these simple history tidbits so that our minds can keep things in perspective.

Yea, Capitalism by way of the NWO, Russian Oligarch System of Government. Reminds me of our current Tech Oligarch System run by the same old folks, Big Oil.

Hopefully we can make a difference and change things while we still have the freedom to speak out.
