		<description>Communism is tyranny, whether in theory or practice. Its proponents are arguing for nothing less than the enslavement of all those who disagree with them. A thoroughly odious creed.</description>

		<description>russia is a gangster country in the same way that america is a scientology country, and how japan used to be a yakuza country.

and the fact they call him Tsar has not much to do with communism. sure they support communism but they dont practice it. their political leanings really dont have anything to do with the threat to the status quo that they pose.

and back to the point at hand, yes it's straightforward. but if you thought it was so straightforward, why the name calling? you can approve or not, but that doesnt mean you can insinuate some kind of evil behind it. communism itself is not an evil thing, it's the people abusing it that are.</description>

		<description>Even Russians I know are happy to call him that, and they support him.

Russia is a gangster country, all the money in the world won't get you anywhere there without FSB or mafia connections.

Most objections to her actions seem to be based on whether the objector approves of leftist politics or not, so it seems a fairly straightforward issue.</description>

		<description>Tsar Putin? I'll ignore the obvious contradiction.

anyway, Russia is a capitalist country with communist leanings. if you wanna talk communist, talk china or north korea. plus i dont see anything wrong in appearing in a communist magazine. her choice atleast.

i guess the biggest threat to the US and it's allies is the russians but you're not likely to see her donning a flak jacket waving the sickle and hammer on the roof of the whitehouse. mostly because as i said before, russia isnt communist... plus she isnt russian.</description>

		<description>You might want to read up on parliamentiary politics. Returning members to a parliament is not the same as being a member of the government.

Are the Conservatives part of the current UK government? You would get some funny looks if you said they were.</description>

		<description>Not part of any ruling coalition, but the party does have seats in the Diet.  Not sure how that means they are not part of the government.</description>

		<description>You know the Japan Communist Party is a political party that is part of the government, right?  They have a small electorate, but people do vote for them.

Gimme a break, this is stupid sensationalism against a non-existent boogieman.  Try again.</description>

		<description>Regardless, the whole thing is kind of innocuous. It's not like she's inciting revolts against the diet or anything. Besides, Japan has had a communist party for a long, long time in spite of it's capitalist/democratic dominance. The efficacy of it on Japan's affairs has been minimal at best, too. The 70's was the last time there was any sort of real communist activity of note inside of the country, if I'm not mistaken. I'd be inclined to agree with hime over the "idealists" comment, too.</description>

		<description>The argument I would be inclined to make is that by consenting to an interview with a publication, one is generally giving one's tacit approval to that publication, with certain exceptions.

This is not just a personal view; imagine the controversy were a top Hollywood celeb to go around giving interviews to white supremacist papers.

Of course she has expressed no political views so she may just have unthinkingly and innocently consented to the interview. I am not convinced this is the case, however.</description>

		<description>I knew I liked her. As far as I know, communists outside China or NKorea are just innocent idealists. Inside those countries, of course, they are largely ambitious social climbers.

But are you sure there is any connection between appearing in the pages of a newspaper and endorsing its editorial views? Skimming the article, I don't see anything particularly political.</description>

		<description>I'm afraid the vast majority of Russians do actually feel that way; just look at the popularity of Tsar Putin.

I realise there is the "Other Russia", but that seems to have become a minority position. So forgive me for generalising, but in this case it may be justified.</description>

WTF ? Where did this come from ? Today the most tyrannical regimes are so-called "democracies". What, you're one of those USians who's still scared shitless of the "RED THREAT" ? Pathetic.</description>
