Liberals think that USSR wasn't so bad after all and crack jokes about football. They want this to happen. Why is the question? I don't even think they know they just do what they're told. Useful idiots.

Come on Chief, there is no way the US will ever mimic the Soviets, ever. A ruthless communist dictatorship born from a ruthless monarchy reaching back hundreds of years of hardship. Russian history tells the story of what it became in which the US will never ever morph into because it can't.
We are hastening out path to the place they were in 1991.
Oh noes! Not 1991!!! The horror, the horror! Rationing, food wars, secret police, all of the job creators leaving - have we learned nothing? Oh, wait...
You do too! The one along the 49th is doing just fine in spite of what your moronic leaders try to float to take the heat off themselves for ignoring your "bottom feeder" one with Mexico..
If Obama and the democrats get their way this will be the future of the US. Utopia according to the liberal lunatics.
"These shocking pictures may look like something out of the Great Depression - but in fact they show life in the last years of the Soviet Union, less than three decades ago. Shop shelves were often bare, it was normal to have to join a long queue if you wanted to buy groceries and many of the people looked ground down after a century of desperate poverty.
The dismal state of the USSR's economy, during a time of rapidly improving living standards in the West, was a result of its dogmatic Communist political system, which stifled free enterprise and stopped the country moving on from its feudal past.
As these images show, by the 1980s that system was close to collapse, as Mikhail Gorbachev's liberalising reforms did little more than open the door to ever louder clamours for change - and on Boxing Day 1991, just a few years after these photos were taken, the Soviet Union was finally dissolved."
If thats where we are heading i'm afraid we are already there as i see people from young to old everyday and i see line ups frequently...i dont see anything out of the ordinary in these pics other than they are from daily life in Russia and they exhibit good photography...What sky is falling concept are you trying to convey kuch
There's different types of socialism though, so one need not necessarily have to go full monty Soviet style.
a mixed system seems to be the best way, Democratic Socialism of some kind
Exactly. Later this month I`ll be taking my annual trip to quasi socialistic Costa Rica,a country whose citizens consistently rank as some of the happiest people on the planet.

I certainly do hope you are right but, yes, you will be seeing most of those things sooner than I ever thought they could be brought to us.
