    How can you possibly separate politics from capitalist greed. The government represents the class that holds power, and US it’s the capital owning class.

      In Russia the olicarchs are directly ruling the country so you can’t criticise them without endangering your life. In the US the capitalist class heavily influences the politics but isnt the one directly ruling the country so you can criticise the politicians all you want. That’s the difference I was pointing out.
