Nikita Khrushschev Quote

“Your children’s children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept Communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you will finally wake up and find that you already have Communism. We won’t have to fight you; We’ll so weaken your economy, until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands.”

~ Nikita Khrushschev

reportedly told to Ezra Taft Benson, Eisenhower’s Secretary of Agriculture, in 1959

I don't know how to rate this; 5 stars for accuracy and an observed fulfillment of Khrushchev's statement; or, a thumb's down for the reality of how the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land is "progressing".

The democrats are busy proclaiming that Socialism is just fine. It hasn't worked to well in Venezuela .

He has no idea what he is talking about!

Robert, who has no idea of what he speaks? In the U.S.A., absolute governmental ownership of property is absolute while government ownership and administration concerning the means of production and distribution of goods continues to expand. Are you saying that government tends to rely more on the fascist end of socialism than communism?

Jim, only because American keeps poking its dirty nose into other countries business. The US wants there oild and other resources as they have done with Libya, Iraq, and trying to do with Syria.

Mike, you live in a world illusions; You think we have a democracy? you think we live in an ideal country, you think those entities/corporations that have increased give a dam about its workers. In 1953 the workforce represented 32.1% to day it is only 7.8%. The poverty level has increased, more incarcerations, and a health system that is the most expensive in the world.
The disparity between the rich and the poor is at an all time high.
The MIC eats up (by far) the largest portion of our GDP (over a $trillion). I could go on all day how America is becoming more fascist than 1984, and the people are totally unaware of the state in which America has become. Since WWll American foreign policy has killed millions, we have 800 bases in over 170 countries. We pay mercenaries to do Americas dirty work. I think a socialist government will be our only hope of recovery. P.s food is becoming so expensive that many have to work two or three jobs just to survive. The Government doesn't rely on fascist socialism, it has become fascist without any help from the socialism. Our government is an organized crime syndicate that kills anything that gets in its way. Mussolini would be proud of America...

Robert, speaking of illusions — you must be a modern progressive because, I know you've read my posts here over the years making your statement an out right prevarication. What would draw you to a conclusion that I think we live in an ideal country, that I think the administrators of major corporations give a damn about their workers? Ummm, 32.1%, / 7.8% of what? (is it true that 98.675 of all percentages are made up?)

What do you account for the current disparity in the rich vs. the poor. I attribute it to socialism's enslavement of the masses. I agree, the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land is far more fascist than it was in 1984. I've mentioned that when I was in business, a plant I had in the Los Angeles area cost more than 25% to produce product than in other States (even when wages were greater in other States) just because of socialist regulation. After everything I've said about the war mongering and colonization for oil, power and other immoral reasons why would you indicate that I believe something else.

I'm sorry, I think you are an idiot (actually, I've know you to be very bright) and extremely ignorant as to human nature, fiscal natural law and socialism. What more socialism could be added to the U.S. that would solve the socialist problems you have identified. The current government is a crime syndicate operating under communism, fascism and other forms of socialism.

George Orwell's "1984" wasn't meant to be an instruction manual.

I just wrote you a long response and somehow when I pressed save it disappeared and I'm to tied to do it again.... Suffice to say it's time for a Socialist Government — it will be our only hope of survival...

A truly Marxist re-definition of capitalism. One must have tangible (gold / silver coin, barter, a specie of material wealth, etc.) "capital" and an excess of capital beyond living expenses to participate in a system of capital (capitalism) Capitalism does not operate in a system of debt. Your confusion comes from your religious dogma (with creative cause & effect) and forms / interpretations of crony capitalism (a deceptive term that exists on ledger forms and other accounting philosophies in a state of debt).

Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 8/7/24

Despite this rhetorical display by Mr. Kruschschev, if you're going offer something, it helps to have that something, he didn't have anything of what he was offering. It would be of great assistance to accept what you offering yourself before offering it to others. Leaders lead.
