'I am plotting a new Russian revolution': London exile Berezovsky says force necessary to bring down President Putin (http://www.guardian.co.uk/russia/article/0,,2056321,00.html)

First comes the liberal revolution, then the socialist revolution (or maybe the latter without the former, especially WITHOUT Berezovsky)...


"We need to use force to change this regime," he said. "It isn't possible to change this regime through democratic means. There can be no change without force, pressure." Asked if he was effectively fomenting a revolution, he said: "You are absolutely correct."

Also, an earlier analysis from Marxist dissident Boris Kagarlitsky:

March 2007 vs. March 1917: Historical parallels (http://www.aglob.ru/en/analysis/?id=634)



I'm confident that there is a litterateur or two out there willing to light the revolutionary "iskra" (spark).

Millionaires are only socialists when it serves them, if you ask me.

^^^ I'm not implying that Berezovsky wants socialist revolution. :rolleyes: Hell, there's the humbled SOB Khodorovsky, who has made a lot of "left" talk as of late. :lol:
