ROGER:

I couldn’t agree with you more. Russia has never had an actual market economy for one second of its entire history, and to suggest otherwise is simply fantasy; nor has Russia ever really tried democracy. So, we have know idea what effect those systems would have in Russia, contrary to the propaganda that is put out by today’s Kremlin. What we’re seeing the dark side of in Russia today is dictatorship and criminality, not capitalism or democracy.

Unfortunately, Mr. Guillory is an avowed Marxist/Communist/Athiest, so his worldview is colored by this ideology and he cannot help seeing capitalism as the root of all evil and saying so.
