More to come soon!
I just finished the book what a fascinating read.I cant wait to start on Lenin. I learned so much mostly in the conservative and Liberal sections. Today's conservatives are Classical Liberals and conservatism is dead. I guess they chose to be called conservatives because of the name not so much because of the ideology.
ReplyDeleteI think that's interesting considering the Russian steriotype of them not voicing their oppinion. I'm excited that some of the younger generations are starting to at least recognize that they can have their own individual beliefs.
ReplyDeleteI agree to, a lot of Russians seem to voice their opinion freely.Also a lot of them talk about how "free" we are in the states.
DeleteI enjoyed the Communist Party meeting I feel like I learned a lot. I feel like Lenin revolutionary spirit died with him, these guys where much more pragmatic. I can't get over the how the other presenter was always looking at the watch made me feel unwelcome. They seem to be mostly old men and young adults who take part, do they actually have a chance of succeeding if Russia was a actual democracy?
