Interesting, Why do people keep calling Putin a communist? I'm not convinced hes a hero of any kind but i think he is looking out for the interests of his people from a Russian standpoint. He threw corrupt post communist oligarchs in jail, seized their stolen wealth (okay a bit commie, but is it though? taking back the stolen diamonds is bad now?) He also cracks down on foreign interference in their politics, locking up soros backed candidates for the corrupt POS they are. Seems pretty rad to me, just what i want in my country. I'm genuinely curious.

Can anyone point to something that proves he's a communist or has enacted full on communist policies because i dont see it myself.

Or is this just a hang over from the Cold war, i was born just before 1990 so i didnt get the whole "Red menace" mind programming, The USSR was a threat to countries and democracy back then in the same way China is now so i suppose it wasn't all fear propaganda but that all ended over 30 years ago in Russia.

So i ask again, how is Putin/Russia communist?
