I used wiki to see exactly how many years the Romanov family was in power, compared to communism, to show that what your defending didn't last very long in russia's history. The number of years wasn't something i knew off the top of my head.
Funny that you seem to get insulted so easily defending a form of gov't that collapsed in such a short time. I have nothing against russians, in fact i've met some sweet russian babes that love it here, and they say that communism is garbage too, hence the reason there parents moved here. That's part of assimilation.
What i don't like is people that come to my country from one that's in shambles, who tell me how much better it is where they come from.
What's the next logical question for anyone with pride to ask them? If you don't like it here, than WHY ARE YOU HERE, WHY NOT GO BACK TO WHERE YOU COME FROM?
As far as American commies. I'd say a good 80% are stupid pot head burnout kids, that really have no idea what the hell communism really is, and what would happen to them if they lived in a true communist society. Eventually they'll grow out of it. And the ones that don't well there's always what lazs said, and for the exact same reasons he said it.
