*picardfacepalm*. Either you did not read my post more carefully or you did not get the point. I stated:
Look, Russia is still a "reactionary, dogmatic one-party tyranny", you are absolutely correct. So is China. Are we to say China never changed since October 1st, 1949? Because it still is technically a "reactionary, dogmatic one-party tyranny". Or heck, China was always a "reactionary, dogmatic one-party tyranny". What were the Emperors if not that? Emperors were always reactionary to the extreme, forsaking all change in a conservatism worthy of the Ancient Egypt; they were also dogmatic, absolute rulers with no other parties present, save for rebellions. So are we to say that it never changed since its almost prehistoric beginning?? See my point?
The point is, you are incorrect in your omission. They say the greatest lies are told in silence. You only mentioned the most basic well known fact, one that applies to countless countries other than Russia. How am I supposed to reply to the statement that "Russia sucks", for instance. In comparison to US in many factors, it is true, but what is the point of making that statement? One says nothing new, nothing detailed, nothing that can be debated, such is the simplicity and irrelevancy of the declaration.
Hey! I am his greatest fanboy! You cannot take that away from me!!See his profile.
