You don't need to speak Russian to understand the nomenklatura. It's a group of privileged people who are appointed to positions of power based on their personal loyalty to the leader or to the party.

Seems like a very familiar concept ripped from today's headlines, certainly not restricted to archaic economic systems.

I usually find that apples and oranges are quite easy to compare.

You seem to have a habit of dramatically changing your comments after you’ve posted them, without noting that you’ve done so. In this case, you originally posted only what now seems to be your final sentence, the one about apples and oranges, then added everything that now precedes it. I have the sense that you are hoping for a political argument.

Not only are you not answering the parents genuine questions, you are trying to distract attention by attempting to be clever. You are not making an argument in good faith. Please stop.
