Title: Greenish-Black Blood: (Oligarchs, Oil and Chechnya) Post by: Devlar on 2004-03-25, 05:54 I wrote a very nice piece on human rights in the world's other super-power Russia, if anyone would like a read they can find it here.
http://www.livejournal.com/users/devlar/27794.html (http://www.livejournal.com/users/devlar/27794.html) I'd paste it but its pretty long and I can't keep the footnotes in the right place here Title: Re: Greenish-Black Blood: Post by: Woodsman on 2004-03-25, 06:36 well not only does Devlar sound like a marxist radical he looks like one too! march on comrade!
Title: Re: Greenish-Black Blood: Post by: Devlar on 2004-03-25, 06:56 AHAHAH, I don't know what to say to that, except I'm not a marxist those guys are too authoritarian for me, although this piece is a political economy piece so it can be associated with marx
I hope you enjoy it ^_^ Title: Re: Greenish-Black Blood: Post by: Woodsman on 2004-03-25, 16:32 Poor Russia. They just cant catch a break. First they have to live as surfs under tyrant Czars then they have to deal with Soviet stalinist opression and now they live under the fist of the mob.
