Not all of it was fantasy stuff. The life of the average Russian had improved quite a bit after the revolution. And, of all of the industrialized, or in the case of Russia - industrializing, countries in the world only Russia was unaffected by the Great Depression. In many very real ways our system had failed and spectacularly so. And theirs hadn't. You're sounding dangerously like a commie. Be careful.......GOP heads will explode.

Jack London, famous American writer: In the face of the facts that modern man lives more wretchedly than the cave-man, and that his producing power is a thousand times greater than that of the cave-man, no other conclusion is possible than that the capitalist class has mismanaged .. . criminally and selfishly mismanaged. Let us not destroy those wonderful machines that produce efficiently and cheaply. Let us control them. Let us profit by their efficiency and cheapness. Let us run them for ourselves. That, gentlemen, is socialism... .

That's may be the stupidest stuff Weiner boy has ever posted: The life of the average Russian had improved quite a bit after the revolution. And, of all of the industrialized, or in the case of Russia - industrializing, countries in the world only Russia was unaffected by the Great Depression. In many very real ways our system had failed and spectacularly so. And theirs hadn't. This is the opposite of history. The USSR had mass starvation at the time. Millions died of starvation in the 1920's and 1930's.
