–“If it can happen in Kiev, in other words, it can happen in Moscow.
[…] Putin sees dissent as a slippery slope. He knows the cold has never stopped a single Russian revolutionary. One day people are camping out in a snowy fountain in Moscow, the next they’ve set up camp and put up barricades in the center of town, bringing traffic to a halt, sowing chaos, and toppling the government. It is the authoritarian take on the broken windows theory, turned upside-down.”–
My purpose in promoting the problem here in Ukraine is to advocate AGAINT endemic corruption. A free and independent Ukraine that is free of corruption, or one that is divided, is not material to me. That is a political question. The moral question is simple: the people are exploited.
I DON”T think the collapse of the soviet union was a good thing. I do think that the collapse of world communism was a good thing. I wold love to see the collapse of world social democratic democracy next. And participate in that if I can.
