"Imagine living in a world devoid of individual freedoms and basic human rights, where each person’s behavior, speech and (even) thoughts are determined by the state.". All I can say is, "Welcome to Joe Biden's America."
Thank you for a brilliant essay. But I would like to make one correction. You make a common mistake when you call Russia a communist country. The present system is very far from communism and has been for decades. It's an important point because many people justify their Russophobia by falsely accusing today's Russia of being the equivalent of the historical USSR.
