  1. In Patton's case, he must have not understood (or wasn't in the loop) that you do not go on to destroy a nation, such as Russia, which just had its heavy industry built by the Western power elite, during the Great Depression. Henry Ford, and the people at Occidental Petroleum would have raised hell over it. Hidden History 101. Paraphrasing an ex-Soviet during an interview: "The Soviet Union wasn't communism, it was state capitalism." Funny, don't you think, that after Nixon, China turned out the same? China practices the most extreme form of state capitalism. Q: Was the profits in the USSR and China ever fairly distributed to the people? "State capitalism is an economic system in which the state undertakes commercial (i.e. for-profit) economic activity and where the means of production are organized and managed as state-owned business enterprises (including the processes of capital accumulation, wage labor and centralized management), or where there is otherwise a dominance of corporatized government agencies (agencies organized along business-management practices) or of publicly listed corporations in which the state has controlling shares. Marxist literature defines state capitalism as a social system combining capitalism with ownership or control by a state—by this definition, a state capitalist country is one where the government controls the economy and essentially acts like a single huge corporation, extracting the surplus value from the workforce in order to invest it in further production. This designation applies regardless of the political aims of the state (even if the state is nominally socialist). Many scholars argue that the Soviet Union and the countries modeled after it, including Maoist China, were state capitalist systems. Many scholars also argue that the current People's Republic of China constitutes a form of state capitalism."__Wikipedia on State Capitalism.
