What does it look like when an ideology dies? As with most things, fiction can be the best guide.

Fiction is the best guide. This is what the GOP dying looks like:

The end of that book is worth quoting despite the language:

Red Plenty ends with Nikita Khrushchev pacing outside his dacha, to where he has been forcibly retired. “Paradise,” he exclaims, “is a place where people want to end up, not a place they run from. What kind of socialism is that? What kind of shit is that, when you have to keep people in chains? What kind of social order? What kind of paradise?”

There are people in Venezuela asking that question right now. I wish more people in the United States would.

People predicted globalism would fail in the 90s but most Republicans and some Democrats (that seems to be the split) claimed it would lead us into paradise.

It’s not capitalism that is dying, it’s the politicos’ and the rentiers’ continuing efforts to convert the global economy to mercantilism that is falling.

[MoochPooch]

Hillary is trying to dress it up as “progressive.”

[Dick Bachert]

"First we will take Eastern Europe, then the masses of Asia. We will encircle the last bastion of capitalism, the United States of America. We will not need to fight. It will fall as a ripe fruit into our hands." Lenin All indicators point to the spread of this madman's insanity throughout much of the rest of America and the world.  It begs this existential question:  WILL WE SURVIVE IT?

We'll know more after November!

True today they have become Fiji fledged Communists and Socialists

Another joyous and inane article from the marxists at the Guardian about the impending doom of capitalism.

And he doesn’t even realize that any of the ills of what passes for capitalism nowdays have been caused by the people attempting to “socialize” it.

[Timocrat]

Another Oxford educated twit.

If governments would stop taking an increasing slice of GDP and handicapping the producers of real wealth then the economy would take off. The only time it has been tried in the post World War II era - in the eighties - it was a resounding success. The problem is that once the politicians/bureaucrats see increasing government revenues they are physiologically incapable of restraining themselves from increasing government spending and interference, via rules and regulations, in the private economy.

Bkmrk.

The pendulum always swings back the other way.
