It is difficult not to be filled with a powerful sense of foreboding when Russia's Pravda Online editorializes about the tragic descent of America into radicalism under the Obama administration.
Although I don't agree with everything in the piece and it contains some errors (e.g. Barney Frank is a member of the House of Representatives, not the Senate) here are some of the more spinetinglingly creepy passages from Stanislav Mishin's commentary titled "American capitalism gone with a whimper" published by the media outlet that grew out of the original official propaganda organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party:
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people. [...]
The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe. [...]
Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.
So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.
Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper... [...]
The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.
The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

We are skipping the Marxist route and going straight into the kleptocracy that Russia found herself in the early 1990s. When it is all over, we will resemble 21st century Russia with a hybrid of state sponsored gangster businesses more than 1930s Soviet Union.
NavyBrat| 5.30.09 @ 10:16AM
Yeltsin. Good point. I never thought about it that way. It would make sense, though. All of the businesses would be run by La Cosa Acorn & all of their "crews" like the SEIU & the Tides Foundation. It all makes perfect sense.

I felt like throwing up after I read this editorial. Disgusting, and embarrassing, too.
William| 5.30.09 @ 7:02PM
Russian analyses of dissolution of the United States are quite interesting too. In some respects they seem obsolete and odd - eg. "the Southern Black Belt", and a ChiCom dominated west coast - but who has had more experience in watching a super power fragment into disparate ethnic, cutural and economic splinter States?
Angel| 5.30.09 @ 7:59PM
ChiCom dominated west coast? I don't know about Oregon and Washington, but many refer to my state as Mexifornia.

Angel - I agree with you. I think an Aztlan based state is more credible than a PRC colony, although I can see the Aztlan entity as a cats paw for the PRC, analogous to a Cuba/USSR client state.
Here is a link to one of the Russian analyses:
http://sec.online.wsj.com/article/SB123051100709638419.html
I disagree with the detail of the social, cultural and geographic dissolution and realignment, but the principal point is that at a certain level of bankruptcy the State will dissolve. If the Soviet Union could break up, I see no reason why the United States could not.
All regimes are Ozymandias in the long run.
Angel| 5.31.09 @ 12:58PM
William, I made a flippant remark, but your post made me pause-- eww. Cuba? I wonder who will be Cali's Castro? Not Ahhnold, he'll be returning to Hollyweird soon. I'm sure Malibu, San Francisco and Berkeley are ready for their marching orders. Skunks.
Richard Baker| 5.31.09 @ 6:04PM
William:
Read Ozymandias in college. Crackerjack poem. The ideas contained within are timeless. The sad thing about the US is that we are doing this to ourselves. It appears to me, when I wonder for the future, that our sated society is tired of being free. If the country goes down, where will all the whiners go for refuge?
Tim| 6.1.09 @ 9:50AM
Hell, even the Chinese are giving us economic advice (quit plinting money)! That there Russki ain't too polite but it don't mean he's wrong.
Stan redmond| 6.1.09 @ 11:29AM
We all know Pravda is nothing more then a mouthpiece of the American conservative republican party. \s What else do the whackos say...Ah yes. Bush's fault.
