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.

That is great and all and label him whatever. But fact remains we are about as far as it gets from a socialist nation. I would guess we are less socialist than any country in the EU.

We have a ruling class with money. A kinda meh middle class, and a frickload of poor and incarcerated.

Those are exactly the results achieved by socialism but the rich class is smaller.

You have never heard of a dacha? Everybody in the Politburo and the Supreme Soviet had one.

Those may not be the goal of socialism, but I'd argue they are the result of socialist policies

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.

Actually, it is the result of croney capitalism, and unregulated financial markets, ones that caused the crash in 08. You can't give rich people the power to direct our flow of income.

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.

Dude, in case you haven't noticed, nearly half(and growing)of the population is sucking the government teat because they are too stupid and lazy to do anything else. That explains your income "equality" as you put it. The current administration and Democrat party celebrates and brags about the growing number of people dependent on food stamps and other government handouts. More idiot votes they can buy with said handouts. And if you pull your head out of your arse you will also notice that our healthcare system is headed for total government control and the borders won't be secured until people are trying to get OUT. Call it whatever you want but the US is a far cry from what it was in 1957.

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...
