Very interesting read. I mostly put the meme for laughs, but I think there is some truth to the US conceeding socialist policies a lot more during the USSR than post collapse. I don't like the idea of one world superpower post 1991. There should always be some sort of competition of ideas. Having the common man see what Russia was able to do in a few short decades indeed puts pressure on capitalist economies to enjoy progressiveism, and on socialist economies to allow in entrepreneurship through managed private property. I do not see FDR and Stalin as enemies, but two men with the same goal, different means. And I think that's a good thing. Without this decades long battle of capitalism vs socialism, we might not have gotten leaders like Deng Xiaoping on the socialist side and Lee Kwan Yew on the capitalist side.
