"communism' is an economic system of last resort.

when america has been ripped of so thoroughly that we can't float bonds or t bills we will need a more communal distribution of necessities or we die in industrial quantities.

examples: tsarist russia, the kuomintang , colonial indochina, cuba, etc.

an industrial democracy turning commie? trump must break us first, and he is doing a remarkable job..
