In a way they're doing that more with Philip in his doing things like asking Stan why things always have to grow and him having a sandwich in his office while remembering being starving. Or having to fire people because they're low-producing.
He's not explicitly linking that to socialism but we know he is a socialist and I feel like he is seeing flaws in capitalism and the benefits of his home country there.
Elizabeth and Claudia's lessons are just so weird to me. Sometimes they seem on the level of a grade school lesson on cultures of the world. Like where if your family was from Russia you come in wearing a babushka and bring borscht.
The only real-sounding discussion about the country Elizabeth's really had was with Philip when they argued over Glasnost.
Elizabeth did tell Paige that "everybody's in it together" back in S5, but of course that's ignoring plenty of reality about the country.
