Old communists never die... (Part 2)
they just hide in the shadows waiting for a catastrophe they can take advantage of.
Crisis will help us regain power - Russia's CommunistsMOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's Communists expect the global financial crisis will cause social unrest and help them challenge for power, the party's leader said on Saturday.
Gennady Zyuganov told the party's annual congress the Communists should make maximum use of the growing public discontent caused by the economic downturn to try to restore their political strength.
"The wind of history is blowing in our sails again ... At this time of crisis the world of imperialism is starting to die. We are standing on the threshold of political and social shifts," Zyuganov said in a 2-hour speech opening the congress.
Nothing like some good old fashioned crisis and misery to set the hearts of communists aflame.

They thrive on crises because it's their only path to power - misery and mayhem. Their ideology is devoid of anything positive, hopeful or practical. It doesn't produce anything valuable in the real world.
It must by its very nature, be imposed under dictatorships. I also think that most Russians were so used iving under the thumb of the state, they're not comfortable taking the reins of their own destiny.

Russians are beyond sad, and that's putting it kindly. I pray to God that, once Cuba shakes off Castro, Inc., it will not do anything as revoltingly disgraceful as allowing an ex-KGB officer to run the country (and that's just the tip of the putrid Russian iceberg).
