  34.  @tactknightgaming2066  LOL. Communists are even more dishonest using the same workers they claim to have so much solidarity with to enrich and empower themselves. It figures when Karl Marx had little in common with the working class yet spoke like he was the voice of them.

  35. Just like Ukraine.

  36.  @Layd36  Sanctions are not a valid excuse for mismanagement.
