Reagan and Lenin, comrades in arms today: It's official, communism rules America.
The right was so against communism that they let free market fools run wild to insure we didn't become communist. It is ironic and the definition of a Greek Tragedy, that the actions of Reagan's fools actually brought us to this point: communism.

A Greek Tragedy is a tragedy in which the actors work to prevent the thing they most fear. However, their actions, in the end, cause the things they most fear.

On the other side, FDR, carefully crafted regulation that insured the survival of capitalism. Reagan and his clowns hated FDR's success. Could it be that the red-baiting Reagan was a latent communist?

It is great to be alive to see this.

1. Naw, if we were communist now, they'd give each of us free bottles of soap and vodka every month
...or that's what a Russian friend of mine told me they used to do.

Here in the US, we don't even get THAT...
