It’s quite understated just how much worse capitalism is in Russia. They have outright oligarchs, who make US CEOs look like equitable angels.
You can use them as a litmus test for Western politicians who claim to be leftist. If they rail against domestic billionaires and corps but have no issue dining with Russian oligarchs, they’re just trying to trick you. Jill Stein is the foremost example that comes to mind.

jill stein did not dine with russian oligarchs, and she has been critical of them. so you’re kind of making things up.
She was at the RT dinner with quite a few big names.
none of them were eating at her table.
Michael Flynn and Putin were however. I don’t blame her for who was at her table, but who was there overall.
so? do you think she chose who was sat at that table?
No but she certainly chose herself to sit at that table.
you’re right. she paid for travel and a ticket to the event, and then sat at a table. the fucking horror.
