wouldn't "Moldova elects Communist government" be a more accurate headline? Also, the
story suggests that the Communists who were elected are politically very different from
the ones who ruled before 1989. I would guess that they are like what we used to call
"social democrats."

CB: What if they are actually what you used to call Communists ? Could you handle
democratically elected, by the People, Communists , Marxist-Leninists ? Note the
article says the elected leaders wants to abolish the bourgeois office of president.
