I was going through some old newspaper clippings my dad had saved over the years and found this.

Note the headline at the bottom.

Hmmm.

Dude, in case you haven't noticed, we have the largest income equality of any major economy. We have massive wealth disparity, a massive incarceration rate, and massive wealth concentration at the top.

Basically huge and massive differences in opportunity, standards of living, education, material wealth, just about everything.

Not exactly socialism.

In June of '57 our military was sending a guy up 18 miles into the upper atmosphere in a balloon. In October of '57 the Soviets launched Sputnik.

The Commies always said that America would implode into socialism on its own. Starting to look like they actually knew what they were talking about, sadly.

You're another unsophisticated victim of Louisiana's shitty education system. I feel sorry for you and your children.

Oh, and next time you wanna do a post like this, Politics Board.

Communism is an economic system at its core... and one of the core tenants of Communist economic theory is that all economic systems, regardless of what type it is, will over time evolve into a communist economic system.

This is what Khurshchev was quoting...

Proponents of Communist economics will tell you the reason the USSR failed as an economic model is not because of "communism" but because it became a communist economic system too quickly. Almost unnaturally...

Some a-hole will start yet another political thread on this board instead of where it fricking belongs.

Khrushchev was very successful for someone with only 4 years of education.

I'm more impressed that the high temperature on June 3, 1956 in New Orleans was only 78 degrees ..
