Comrades! To the Barricades! The very foundations of our civilization are crumbling beneath our feet! Black is White! Cats are Dogs! The world has gone MAD!!

Vladimir Putin has rejected extreme state intervention in the economy! He has in fact condemned The Bill That Shall Wipe Away All Our Tears in the process! He is defying the Will of His Obamaness!!!

In his opening comments at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, former KGB Chief-now-Turned-Capitalist-Stooge Putin offered the following unacceptable remarks:
~

Esteemed colleagues, one is sorely tempted to make simple and popular decisions in times of crisis. However, we could face far greater complications if we merely treat the symptoms of the disease.

Naturally, all national governments and business leaders must take resolute actions.

Oh he starts out fine, doesn't he? Monger the fear, call for resolute actions (and we all know what that means, don't we comrades?) But then he goes on to say:

Nevertheless, it is important to avoid making decisions, even in such force majeure circumstances, that we will regret in the future.

REGRET? There is no regret in Socialism! Socialism means never having to say you're sorry, and that repeated decades of failure have nothing to do with assured future success! THOUGHT CRIME!!!

In a fit of undoubted insanity, Arch-Criminal Putin continued:

This is why I would first like to mention specific measures which should be avoided and which will not be implemented by Russia.

We must not revert to isolationism and unrestrained economic egotism. The leaders of the world's largest economies agreed during the November 2008 G20 summit not to create barriers hindering global trade and capital flows. Russia shares these principles.
Although additional protectionism will prove inevitable during the crisis, all of us must display a sense of proportion.

Excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state's omnipotence is another possible mistake.

He further compounded his ThoughtCrime:

True, the state's increased role in times of crisis is a natural reaction to market setbacks. Instead of streamlining market mechanisms, some are tempted to expand state economic intervention to the greatest possible extent.

The concentration of surplus assets in the hands of the state is a negative aspect of anti-crisis measures in virtually every nation.

He then commits an act of outright heresy!

In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state's role absolute. In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.

Nor should we turn a blind eye to the fact that the spirit of free enterprise, including the principle of personal responsibility of businesspeople, investors and shareholders for their decisions, is being eroded in the last few months. There is no reason to believe that we can achieve better results by shifting responsibility onto the state.

And he swipes tacitly at the plans of His Obamaness and The Bill That Shall Wipe Away All Our Tears:

And one more point: anti-crisis measures should not escalate into financial populism and a refusal to implement responsible macroeconomic policies. The unjustified swelling of the budgetary deficit and the accumulation of public debts are just as destructive as adventurous stock-jobbing.

I demand immediate condemnation of this obvious Capitalist Hack and employee of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy! Buckets must be banged! Shoes must be tossed!

If I were capable of regret, I might regret that I bought my T-90 tank from him. It is still awesome, though.


Anyway, I DENOUNCE EX-COMRADE PUTIN for this clear Thought Crime! And to think, he used to be the leader of the KGB.

Just proves that denouncing the USSA takes higher priority than spreading communism...

It can't be Putin! It just can't be him! They -- and we know who they are -- must have replaced the real Putin with some sort of American CIA imposter Putin! Didn't Putin visit Kennebunkport? Hmmm? Wasn't Putin with Bush and his parents?

Do the math, comrades. Do the math. CIA imposter Putin.

Great Stalin's Ghost!
Where is Stalin when we need him?!

Being dead, but that's no excuse!Thousands of dead people rise to vote for Democrats. He is obviously being lazy.

Comrades, each and everyone of you should be grateful to be socialists today, otherwise you should be ashamed to have commented on Comrade Putin in such a manner. Clearly he was attacking this imperialist contamination in the Stimulus Package, put in no doubt by Bush hold outs, that restricted iron and steel to American made materials. But the Progressive forces in Congress were too smart for this. So they passed the bill with the same language to make it appear to keep the Buy American mantra language to make it appear to keep the Buy American mantra, yet at the same time, ignore it. True socialism rises to the top again! Let not your greedy black hearts be troubled Comrades. You believed in Lenin, believe you also in the Obama!
