Now claiming that every socialist country has collapsed is one thing,
and I'm used to that at this point. (Americans just don't like Canada,
and appear still to be annoyed by us burning down the White House back
in 1812. What the've got against all those European countries I'm not so
sure.)

But to promote this idea in a forum full of Americans who have
voluntarially moved to a socialist country that at this point owns a
fairly sizable chunk of America[1] is a pretty impressive display of,
well, I'm not sure I have a word for this, actually. And never mind that
the central bank of an actual communist country owns even more....
