14Russian, I don't really understand where you are coming from in terms of politics. In one post you are against "left" (I presume socialist) leaning Russians. Then you critisize Putin, followed by some serious stabs at the USA + capitalism while also saying that Russia needs "cheap labour" (i.e. a pro-capitalism statement). The only thing I see you support consistently, is anti-islam, anti-immigration from Central Asia. Are you more of a nationalist? If so, is there any political party or movement in Russia that represents your views?

For me, I think socialism and communism is more appealing than capitalism. I am definitely anti-imperialist and I also support Green objectives. However, I am well aware that achieving communism is almost impossible, and socialism is susceptible to corruption, can encourage laziness and that there have been many failures. Basically, unless human nature changes or there is exceptionally good leadership it will be incredibly hard to succeed with any type of Marxist ideology.

I really don't see capitalism as a good alternative either and I think it's heading for a big crash. I also strongly dislike the foreign policy of the USA. And don't even get me started on immigration/"refugees".

And I tend to think that Tamerlan as well. USA provided them with some level of life and ambitions to be "champions" but not the proper ideology to put ambitions to good so they selected radical islam. A guy of non-islamic origin would go to nearby school and kill some children.

Muslim terrorists/guerilla in Russia usually have rather different reasons and different way.
Tamerlan should have left some manifesto or something to explain himself!
I mean, what's the point of going out and doing some radical manifestation without explaining the reason?
That would be killing just for the sake of it. For almost any cause he actually supports, his actions didn't achieve anything! It certainly did not make more Americans reflect on their country's foreign policies and it certainly did not endear him to Russia where he was already under surveillance.

I think there is a small chance they were somehow set up, or allowed to carry out their attack. The reason for that is that it doesn't make a great deal of sense otherwise. I mean why would Djokhar ruin his life; he was in a good university and he was "well integrated" in America. They were not radical moslems - Neither was praying regularly, they did not have a beard and did not stick to halal meat.
