“We cannot expect Americans to jump from capitalism to communism. But we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have communism.”

People will once again be able to run outside and enjoy the flowers without heavy industry, processed food, market economics, and exploitation of the land for extraction, highways (automobile money), and real estate projects destroying everything.

That's a humdinger of a quote, except there's no firm evidence of him ever having said that. If you have a primary source for this quote, you'd be the first. People have been trying to track it down since 19-bloody-62.

Nakita Khrushchev went back to the USSR and told his people that the American government loaned all of the cars to the people while he was there.

While socialism is reprehensible, in the case of the Nordic countries it actually begat more capitalism as those countries had to adopt freer economies to pay for all the schemes.
