Alexeï Navalny

I am so sad today
that the terror of an authoritarian
regime driven by an iron arm
such as Putin
has killed him in the name
of a democratic freedom

Dead in the
prison of Arctic, a hero
flying from Berlin to Moscow
to end in the hands of a dictator
and flirting with
the danger
instead of fleeing his powerful
enemy...

It's fun to blame communism for all of the world's ills, but Russia is not a communist country. It's a run-of-the-mill authoritarian state with a capitalist economy. Capitalism, of course, has produced more than its share of terrors, but the truth is that Navalny's death should be blamed on the Putin regime, not any particular economic system.
