@dt6692 We are seeing how US capitalism is a failure. Libertarianism is just an invented capitalist utopia that has absolutely no chance of ever being adopted.

@Bourikii2992 The American Imperialist system requires a standing military to enforce the foreign investment contracts of American corporations. The military and police spending is considered essential to protecting profits while education is neglected because skilled labor is replaced with unskilled labor and machines first in the hopes of boosting profits. The private school education Bill Gates received as a child included access to a computer when only elite universities had computers for general usage. Naturally if you pay the teachers more assure that the students have breakfast and give them a small class size of half a dozen a better outcome is achieved compared to classrooms of twenty five to thirty. Its called private because you aren't invited except by invitation only. The sole purpose of Charter Schools is to de unionize the public schools. The idea is to convince the workers that the inability to fire teachers is the problem and not a system that has less and less need for education and especially an educated working class. The bosses want order takers not on the job thinkers.

@Bourikii2992 American Imperialism is based in private investment in foreign countries. All one needs to do is see that the US is the world's leading Imperialist power is to look at the size of its Imperialist Army, Navy, Air and Space force. It stands at the ready to defend US Imperialist interests worldwide. Capitalism is intrinsically epolitive of the working class and the capitalist seek to fight it out for profits in the world market because capitalism was born in nation states which makes it impossible for the ruling capitalist classes to arbtrate trade desputes amongst themelves except through world Imperialist war. The Soviet Union ended in 1991 when the counterfeit communists of Stalin's making turn to Bill Clinton and the American Imperialist for economic advices. Lenin and Trotsky were among the first Social Democrats to advocate for national Independence of the colonial nations oppressed by Imperialism. The leaders of the Imperialist Empires that went to war in world war one and two had no interests in freeing the colonial slaves. .

@Bourikii2992 Ron Reagan was an FBI informer and one time President of the Screen Actors Guild does that make him a "secret" communist also? As a young person Stalin trained as a Priest in the Orthodox church. Stalin had all the "old bolsheviks" who were Lenin's closest comrades murdered after the frame up Moscow trials of 1936 to 1938. All of them were accused of Trotskyism and conspiring with Hitler to return capitalism to the Soviet Union. All you have is a fixation on the secret police. Saudi Arabia has both feudal/capitalism and dictatorship. Yeltsin forced though all his free market reforms for shock therapy on advice from Milton Freedman and the American Imperialists. Bill Clinton gave him an "attaboy" for using tanks to shell the Russian White House (Supreme Soviet). Yet that is supposedly communist Imperialism and the US war in Afghanistan was just an exercise in "Nation Building" Democracy. Sure the US only goes to war to secure peace not a piece of the action in the game of capitalist exploitation.

@Bourikii2992 That's all tax money that the working class will be expected to pay back with interest because government is too big to fail. The two parties which are really just a single capitalist party with two factions have been in power since the American civil war. Putin like the Chinese leadership was trained in the Stalinist school of falsification and privilege for bureaucrats. Those who wanted to continue the Leninist communist course in the Soviet Union were expelled from the Communist Party and Communist International and founded a new communist movement. Fidel Castro and Che Guevara came along and showed in practice that none of what Stalin did was necessary.for the success of a socialist revolution. The US has Troops station on 800 military bases world wide they make Putin look like a Jr Achievement Imperialist compared to them.

Socialism won't come about through the capitalist government reformation. Instead it will be through class struggle against the companies and their government. As we go into struggle we will change the way we look at each other and the whole world will stand up and cheer with the end of American Imperialism and the beginning of a new United Socialist States of America. In essence a Soviet America.
