You have to hand it to the left wingers.... They keep trying, but this one is kind of funny in a sad pathetic way................. So according to this leftwinger, America is "misery-ridden" and "economically stagnant"................
Well, I have only one thing to say to that..... THANK YOU PRESENT OBAMA. lol.

The Russian revolution was the most utopian left-wing project in history, and it was a cataclysmic disaster. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, many Western observers concluded that the old Marxist dream was dead forever.
But they spoke too soon. History is not over, and with the absence of any Soviet competition, Western capitalist countries — and especially the United States — have become hideously unequal, misery-ridden, and economically stagnant. In many ways, socialists in the early 21st century stand just about where they were in the early 20th century: politically marginalized, but leveling an economic critique that becomes more convincing with each passing year.
