Then... the Soviet Union collapses and CAPITALISM flourishes in Russia and Europe and China and South America (to some extent). The Old Soviet apparatus was abandoned in the USA as the world began chasing capitalist wealth. Instead of dying off, the American Left has taken up the spiritual crusade and is now the strongest leftist movement in the world. The result if this national nightmare is that real Americans have forgotten and abandoned their history and Constitutional rights, drinking the Koolaide of the Left after 30-60 years of NEA social indoctrination.
Marx, Lenin and Stalin and Khrustiev are dead but the international philosophy is strong and now being led from the White House through Obama's puppet masters like Ayers and others.
The Suffragettes used all the same tactics in the early 20th century.
“the Soviet Union collapses and . . . The Old Soviet apparatus was abandoned”
I don’t think the USSR/Russian core capitulated communist principle to the extent we here in the west believe.
It only ‘went dark.’
PM Putin as ‘former’ KGB and present Russian authoritarian activities buttress this theory.
They knew ‘hot-war’ would be disastrous on both fronts and had to develop a ‘new plan’ for conquest.
Rope-a-Dope works well, ask Ali.
We may have witnessed the biggest game of ‘possum’ ever.
Remember, the devil’s best trick has been to convince many that he does not exist.
