Thanks for the laugh at Friedman's expense: that's about the most credit you'll ever hear a pinko give to Reagan, "he helped remove a bad system."

And they fought tooth and nail against everything Reagan did, mocked him mercilessly, and kissed the Soviet Union's butt at every opportunity.

The Left was certain (in the US and UK) that Reagan (and Thatcher) was going to take us to a nuclear war with the poor misunderstood Soviets.

Even today they take their pride in their paranoia.

And to think they called the Red Menace a false “hysteria”.
