Pure nonsense, but an A+ for your attempt at rewriting history.

What you say might be correct for rural areas - but the situation is mostly the same in rural areas over here as well. The US has been a shining star and example in both the development of international communism AND our modern social democracies with our welfare states. 30 years of your current neo-con wankathlon does not diminsh the contribution America has given in those fields.

And that, might I add, was a contribution from the american urban working class. The American masses.
