Every day Putin wakes up, he should get on his knees and thank the Bolsheviks for building one of the most self sufficient nations in history that can weather most economic storms.

Even a shell of the former USSR can outlast neoliberalism. Imagine what could've been if USSR was still around, building socialism

Given how the rest of the world didn't adopt Neoliberalism until the USSR was declining, I'm not sure we would've gotten here in the first place. Food for thought 🤔
