    The socialist dream around the world was crushed under the coolness of the 80's in the West

    We buried them. Nice try Nikita

    Reagan won the Cold War by giving a speech being mean to communism is still the funniest right-wing myth in circulation.
    The strawman's ass got just got fucked.

    I like the let wing myth that Reagan was going to start WW3 and the Soviet Union wasn't going away so we need to live with them and probably be like them eventually

    Then when the shit show collapses under the economic onslaught and military build up by RR the Soviet Union was always going to collapse anyway and we? had nothing to do with it

    I had a lot of issues with the US and was liberal and didn't vote for RR but I still rooted for America. I was never stupid enough to be a commie and you wouldn't catch me with a VC flag or the hammer an sickle

    To each their own

    The good guys won. Kids today are fucking ignorant if they thing socialism/communism is going to help their stupid ass get anywhere

    Get the fuck off my lawn

    I had a very similar background, one the things that turned me off from the left was their anti-Americanism.

    The Soviet Union was teetering and RR gave it a shove. He almost undoubtedly hastened its end, but it was going to end.

    That certainly wasn't the conventional wisdom in 1980 and it wasn't what our own CIA was saying.

    See what I mean

    Odd how a guy who claims to have voted for Reagan and is a REAL conservative is another shill for socialists and communists who now run his party

    Go figure

    Ann Coulter (gasp) wrote a book taking news articles from Lexus Nexus from the time that conclusively proves this point. The left thought RR was going to get the world blown up by daring to confront the evil empire

    I remember sitting in Herb Ellison’s class in 1980 or 81. He called it then. It sounded like a fantasy to me at the time. He was right.

    Wow, that didn't refute a fucking word a I just said but I hope it made you feel better. Hell Reagan said it and he believed it before you heard it from Herb. Btw, am I supposed to know who Herb Ellison is?

    APAG, this might be one of the most ignorant threads you’ve ever started. We have the courts that punish companies for doing bad shit. Look at the recent Monsanto RoundUp lawsuit. In your dream of socialism, there is no oversight. The people owning the factories are the same people that are also the rule maker and the judge aka: The Government. No system is perfect, but at least In the free market capitalism, competition helps even the playing field and some government oversight is needed to keep it that way, like breaking up monopolies.

    The only voices in America advocating breaking up monopolies are on the socialist left.
    Then you must really love Trump. But then he’s also a facist. It must really suck being you. Living a life of contradiction.

    Perfect example of a millennial. Not having any idea what he/she wants, but bitching for the entitled sake of it.
    Trump and the conservatve movement writ large is a hollow vessel for the interests of billionaires and mega-corporations.

    I’m not a millenial. I developed these views in the godawful Reagan years, bud.
    Then you’re parents failed you, or life failed you, or both.

    In your socialism utopia, it’s the government and their officials who become the billionaires and the mega corporations. At least until the money is all gone. Hi Venezuela
