Dude take a chill pill. Reverting to ad hominem is not very useful. Even if you, as I presume, are an ardent communist, you can understand that it’s no wonder that a former KGB agent is the dictator of Russia. Power in one form, even if it is corrupted from your idealist view of it, can very easily migrate to power in another form.

I think it’s a fair statement to say that those arguing that he could be a “Soviet” asset are meaning that he started as one, not that there is a super secret Soviet shadow government continuing 40 years post collapse.

But either way, why call your fellow human worthless? Shouldn’t, even if you view them as ignorant, your goal to be to raise them up? Talking things out is how we find truth. I think generally the ideals of communism, not talking of its implementation, represent a good amount of empathy at the macro level; so why not keep that empathy that you have for the micro level.

I hope you have a good day.
