The Soviet Union failed because they waited too long to revolutionize the world. The rich imperialists got them to play their game while they looted the world and built bigger armies with more expensive weapons. They sucker punched the USSR and now the world is drowning in capitalist blood from the Middle East to every corner of the Earth!
Had the revolution spread as planned Russia and China would run China and Africa and the US would be a socialist nation. The west needs customers for the junk they've made. Once USSR & China freed other nations of capitalist exploitation they could have built the most wonderful utopia the world has ever seen!
Imagine no hunger, no war, no boss, no slaves, no corporations! No factories poisoning men and robbing both the people and planet of their health! No armies, no borders, one giant collective where each man is king and each woman is queen! Brothers and sisters working side by side for the common good! Competition? Competition is just warfare by any other name!
The schools are already teaching the next generations about evil capitalism. Kindergarten kids now know that a capitalist means a "bad man". Kids understand that a factory is something that destroys the planet.
Capitalists days are numbered.
Harold Rugg said it best. He was Professor of Education at Columbia University already back in the thirties. He wrote the Syllabus for Educational Foundations used at teacher's colleges around the nation. In it he declares, "It is utopian to expect to achieve revolutionary goals without using revolutionary means." He declared that Soviet Russia was more advanced than England, France or the USA.
Millions of teachers in the US look at him as a role model. And for a Jewish role model, look no further than Rabbi Stephen Samuel Wise who said: "I believe that of all the achievements of my people, none has been more noble than the part of sons and daughters of Israel which has culminated in the free Russia." Rabbi Wise practically lived in the White House with President Roosevelt, so often was he a guest.
FDR already did half the work for us. He beat up on the Supreme Court, forced the New Deal in, empowered unions, got people used to socialism via social security, etcetera. Now we just need to finish the job. Elect a real leftist, not a compromiser. Elect someone who will nationalize healthcare and reform all industries via strong central controls. The oil companies will rue the day they went overboard! Windfall taxation of 98% sounds reasonable. Take that stolen wealth of the masses and redistribute it to the poor all over the world.
Capitalism is so twentieth century.
