>As for the Soviet regime being 'civilized,' at root 'civilized means nothing more than living in settled, relatively stable communities. Big deal! (We really do need a word that expresses more than just 'city-dweller')

The word is "culture". A civilization is just a way of life. A culture is a way of making that life beautiful. There was a Frenchman who said that the United States is the only country to have gone from barbarism to decadence without any culture inbetween. He wasn't too far off.
