The U.S. used to be a capitalist country, but is now becoming a Marxist society, said Robert Kiyosaki, best-selling author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad.”
Kiyosaki was a veteran of the Vietnam War who had seven uncles fighting in World War 2. “I fought for capitalism,” he said. “America is going Marxist.”
The evolution of socialism in the U.S. started with the anti-war protests following the Vietnam War, Kiyosaki said.
“When I came back [from Vietnam] the hippies were outside just like the protesters are today in Chicago. I got hit with rotten eggs, I got hit with stink bombs, I got spit on and all this, and those were the hippies. Some of them were my classmates: SDS (Students for a Democratic Society), Black Panthers, all of those guys. And what happened to the baby boom SDS members? They became school teachers. A lot of my peers are now teaching in the highest levels of academia,” he said.
Kiyosaki has prepared for a time when he would have to leave the U.S., he said, by holding safe haven assets like gold and silver.

He's friends with Trump.
Seven uncles fighting on which side? The article doesn’t say.
I got news for him, when the USA collapses it is going to take down the rest of the world along with it.
There is not going to be any “free” place to move too.
With no USA, you will have rogue states galore, invading weaker countries.
China will take all of southeast Asia.
Russia will become the Soviet Union in a matter of days. Germany will become the 5th Reich.
Imperial Japan will own the Pacific.
Mexico will take Aztlan.
Rome will be speaking Arabic.
He’s right, especially if the Rats win this election.
Where to?
Yeah for sure.
Hard to believe how many even on here don’t understand that.
Well, then, Go.
Seriously, what people DO with their money is what matters, not what they say.
I agree with some exceptions. Russia is in terminal demographic decline. It is finished. China is ready to collapse economically. The CCP is unlikely to survive in its current form. As for Germany, all the real men were killed off in the twentieth century.
He was great grandchild of Japanese who immigrated to America (territorial Hawaii).
As long term Hawaiians, his family were probably 100th infantry battalion of Japanese Americans, mostly from Hawaii and formed from remnants of the Hawaiian National Guard, saw extremely heavy combat in the Sicilian and Italian campaign.
And he was an attack helicopter pilot in Vietnam.
“As for Germany, all the real men were killed off in the twentieth century.”
Lining up naked women and shooting them isn’t especially manly. Neither is their penchant for subservience to following orders of society. I would argue that the Germans of WWI were the good ones. The ones of WWII were not so much to admire.
Agreed. I’d go as far to say that if Britain stayed out of WWI, which meant we would have stayed out of it, the world would have been much better off.
I think you have a strong argument for that
When I said real men, I meant as opposed to men of today who dress up as women and speak with artificially high voices.
Another problem Germany would have recapturing its former bad-ass nature is that fifty percent of the German economy (GDP) comes from exports. Like most advanced western economies, Germany has experienced a demographic crash that means consumption led growth is impossible. The failure to reproduce combined with their socialist programs means that as of some time last year they had no submarines that could go to sea, due to funding and repair issues. The wussification of Germany is complete. They might as well save even more money by replacing their armed forces with a recording in Russian (Press 2 for French, Press 3 for Polish) that says they surrender.
Hitler proved pretty credibly that it only takes 20 years to build a military super power. I like the present day Germany better than the one Hitler built.
It started over 100 years ago, not with Vietnam.
