Em E: Russia is not Communist, Hillary as you know is not Communist, Im not sure why you even mention her? Economically I see Russia moving towards the USA and the USA moving towards Russia. The way we practice Capitalism has been changing and becoming closer to the way Russia practices it. Russia was advised by all the big US Investment Banks on the transition from Communism to Capitalism. I also see Russia become less Democratic and taken over by a strong Executive Branch. I see the US become less Democratic, problems with elections control over the media, except in the US the control comes from Corporations and the State, Russia its all the State.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said: "When the government is controlled by big business you have fascism; when the government controls business you have communism." Judging from that statement I would say we are heading in the direction of fascism very quickly. So, in answer to your question I guess Russia is becoming more like us, following us too closely, as a matter of fact, since we have recently taken a wrong turn.

all countries are changing pretty fast.
Meanwhile, America is based on individualism and Russia is based on collectivism. So they move in different directions.
On the other hand, America became more "collectivistic" over the time and Russia - more individualistic.
We do not know yet how far this basic change will go.

The lives of average russians have not improved to nearly the state that most americans take for granted, and Putin looks like a dictator. there is no democracy in russia, and although there is not much democracy in america (before i get pounded for that, america is a FEDERAL REPUBLIC, not a Democracy), i dont believe you can compare russia to america. things in america would have to get real bad before that happens.

Unbelievable. Putin is about as far away from the USA as he could get. They're practically communist again, despite their fixed elections. Didn't you hear the uproar about Putin's fixed election and the US inquiry into his stacked winning? The US is not communist. Unless you elect Hillary, we are not socialists.
