The theory, which buys Marxism an "out", is this: they rushed into communism w/o going through a full stage of capitalism, which as we all know does wonders to eliminate scarcity. They hopped over capitalism from a feudal system and tried to make it work. The Communist Manifesto supports doing this. The German Ideaology and Das Kapital, do not.
The doctrine of historical materialism and its prediction of a socialist utopia depends a great deal, or entirely, on the concept of technological advancement. You saw this expressed through Soviet Russia's near obsession with doing great public works. The idea is that, once you get to some magical place where technology can eliminate scarcity, people won't have to compete for their existence, and can instead go off and self-actualize, because I guess we call all just wander into these make-believe warehouses and get whatever we need whenever we want to. Whatever. Who's really to say what the world will look like in 1,000 years anyway.
But the basic notion here would be that they tried central planning before they could pull it off. That, and they were surrounded by hostile interests who didn't trade with them and who cut them off economically, or tried to. In the end, the theory goes, Russia's failure was less a failure of communism as a theory, and more a failure of timing. Either way, these people would say Reagan was just at the right place at the right time and drafted behind history.
Creep out. -

A key part of being President is simply to not fuck up and draft up history.creepycoug said:

His greatest achievement might have been giving Volckler the political cover needed to end stagflation. -
Reagan had the balls to accelerate their demise.creepycoug said:

Creep out.
Other Presidents were pussies.
Except for the aforementioned Jack and Truman ... Truman had balls. -
GOPs have too much down low on the block. Reagan and Ford would just go to town on Carter and Johnson.RaceBannon said:Since 1960 the match up is even
Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton, Obama
Nixon, Ford (shouldn't count) Reagan, Bush, Bush. Trump broke the tie
the years were even going into the last election too
And despite having two black guys in Clinton and Obama, Obama can only go left and has that ugly ass cross-face fling shot.
You know George Herbert Walker Bush has a sweet one handed set shot to open up the inside game, too.
Kennedy could off but was prone to back injuries.
Nixon and Trump would use all 10 fouls available.

Reagan did a lot of FS shit and he was basically a total disaster, but how can anyone here forgive him for legitimizing and bringing to the center of American politics the fucking evangelicals?
FFS. -
You at least must respect the bad ass motherfucker. The top two were racists as well by virtue of slave ownership. But props to Jefferson for banging that little tart Sally Hemings.Swaye said:

Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in the market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doin' all right
Hear him whip the women just around midnight
Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good
Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should
Drums beatin' cold, English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doin' all right
You should have heard him just around midnight
Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good
Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should

Creep out.
Washington was just in the right place at the right time.
FDR was just in the right place at the right time.
Timing is a massive fucking part of legacy. You still have to capitalize on it though.
