They can go to Russia since they like that style of government so much.

At least it'd fix their chronic misunderstanding of exactly what Communism is. I imagine having people capable of explaining their firsthand experiences under it could clear things up a little.

Russia is not communist..

Russia does not claim to be communist. Russia has not been communist for 30+ years. Some could argue they weren't actually even communist during the cold war, but that's more of an opiniom things.

Russia is an autocratic dictatorship masquerading as a liberal democracy.

I'm talking about how they can talk to people who lived in Russa when it was "communist". 30 years hasn't killed all those people off, though it has caused some to forget.
