During the time of legalised segregation in the USA, some 36,000 American blacks went to the USSR, where they had a better life. Not perfect… better. There are thousands of black and mixed race people in Russia and the Ukraine. No… they don’t make up one percent of the population, but they’re there and they’re not going away. Racism reared its ugly head again after the fall of the USSR. I notice that the rightwing’s invariably racist in one way or another. Everything Russian is ours… all of it from Akademgorodok to Zelenograd! That includes “Black Russians“… and I’ll defend them as part of our naroda to the last drop of my blood. That’s the way it is!
That’s why so many want the old Soviet motherland back… to fight race hatred and oligarch greed, to build up a powerful Rodina again. The Church is for it… the Party is for it… the People are for it… and to hell with the oligarchs and their corrupt mouthpieces. It’s time to recapture the dream of the mid-eighties… we did it then… we can do it now. America can go and pout in a corner… they don’t want the betterment of any country… all that they want is to funnel all the profits from all over the world into their bottomless maw (to finance their McMansions and guarded gated communities).
Don’t let the rightwing swine divide us. We must all stand together or we’ll all be raped together… it’s quite that simple!
