The fact that you thought I would delete my comments shows just how far off the deep end you are buddy. The only one who should be embarrassed here is you, but you don't even realize it.
Nah I know what a dictatorship is, but you clearly don't. Maybe learn a bit about the subject you're attempting to debate so as not to make a clown of yourself in the future.
What communists accomplished in USSR, China, Cuba, Laos, and Vietnam are all successes of communism, even if they don't fit with your ideals. All of these revolutions have resulted in huge tangible improvements in the standard of living for the people, and created far more egalitarian societies than anything seen under capitalism.
Yes, you really should work on the quality of your research based on your comments.
I'm pretty sure I've looked into it a lot more than you have, but do go on.
Apparently Prigozhin has gone rogue, but nobody really knows what's happening and people are speculating wildly. We'll probably have to wait a few days to see what actually happened.
One of those if this isn't the consequences of my own actions moments
So looks like the main outcome of the whole thing is that Russia is now moving from SMO to CTO (Counter Terrorist Operation) status. The differences in Russian law between an SMO and CTO are pretty important.
SMO is a conventional term which describes the scope of current Russian operations in Ukraine. The conduct of the SMO does not affect life within Russia in any significant legal sense. A CTO by contrast, is a legal framework with key implications for Russian citizens, as well as people living in the area of operations.
The CTO regime is introduced and cancelled by the head of Russia's FSB. As such it is primarily a national security measure. The purpose of a CTO regime is to prevent or minimize the consequences of any and all threats to national security, such as (but not limited to) terrorist attacks.
A brief summary of CTO legal implications:
- FSB officers become part of the command structure of the military operation and participate in military planning and decision making at the highest levels.
- Conscripted soldiers may be utilized in combat operations (not just mobilized reservists).
- Security services may requisition property of citizens such as personal vehicles, warehouses etc for CTO use.
- Strict powers of control over the exchange of information.
- Communication means may be disconnected by security services without notice.
- Unimpeded access to any CTO employee into any premises in Russia without the need for legal warrant.
- Restrictions on freedom of movement.
- Employees of FSB, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Emergency Situations and others, become part of the CTO.
- Expanded powers to security forces in who may be designated a hostile combatant. This opens the door to targeted destruction of non-military individuals.
the rollercoaster keeps on going
Literally linked you western studies showing that vast majority of people in China think they have a democracy, but of course a western chauvinist would think they know better. The only thing that's embarrassing here is you I'm afraid.
