Boorish Yeltsin fires the government!

It is that easy : you can just fire the government!. What kind of

    "democratic " constitution does  Russia ? . In Western history we read

    about a king dismissing  Parliament -and that is usually a prelude to

    civil war. Does the ex-communist Boris Yeltsin think that he can be

    a " free enterprise " Stalin ? He is deluding himself. Monster that he

    was Joseph Stalin 's tyranny could guarantee the poor masses a minimum

    of security. " Equality in poverty " was perhaps easier for the masses

    to bear than the present reckless and lawless contempt of Russia's New

    Rich for the " socialist " past.

        It is unlikely that such a phony " capitalist " class in Russia

    could ever win the respect of the military- once the pride of the nation

    that was not too long ago a super power.

       Remember the national psychology - the wounded pride of veterans - that

    was a big factor in the rise of Hitler's National Socialism in the Germany

    of the 1920s.

        Since the Bolshevik Revolution destroyed Russia 's upstart capitalist

    class, there was in the last decade no raw material for a new wealthy

    class, apart from the privileged Soviet bureaucracy. Ironically the

    new wealthy in Russia must have been connected to the former communist

    elite. Indeed to the most corrupt and unprincipled layer of it !

       In his classic work " The Revolution Betrayed ", Leon Trotsky predicted

    that the privileged Stalinist bureaucracy would eventually lead the

    country back to capitalism . He described the nation back then as a

    " degenerated workers' state ".

        Russia is still today the dialectician's nightmare of " inner contradictions
     It still has a messianic sense and nuclear weapons !
