M(G)P, I didn't say the USSR wasn't a terrible fascist regime, I said that Communism in general is presented that way. So I hate to break it to you, but these two things are not one in the same, the USSR is no more a fair representation of Communism than Nazi Germany was Capitalism. It is simply that in the majority of mainstream American media, the word communist is instantly given negative connotation and instantly linked back to the USSR, which began as a socialist structure but fell apart before ultimately becoming a dictatorship under Joseph Stalin.

As for you Fopp, Fair enough, but much like To Kill a Mockingbird, it's as much about little steps as big changes. So long as Anton isn't presented as just another insane Fascist looking to bring the glory of the USSR to America, I can live with that.
