Entry: Two Cheers for Putin Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/two_cheers_for_putin#4998 Post contents: Ojojoj... This article included a very surprising and very socialist statement to come from the usually admirable Taki. That "Russia's raw material belongs to Russians" is a very absurd and lofty claim and such philosophy, I guess, goes hand in hand with the views that Chalets in Switzerland for the Swiss, or flats in London for the English ( which I doubt Taki would agree to). Private property is private property whether its is assets in form of raw material, paper money, real estate and its owner should be respected located in Russia and elsewhere. Putin is in many ways a great leader and Russia needs a tsar, but it also needs private enterprise owned and run by entrepreneurs, local and / or international ( including MNCs). Expropriating private assets from is rightfully owners by the Kremlin is wrong and will harm that great country. Sent at: 2008 07 24
