Socialist Nations

Proposed: Any member of the UN is a card carrying socialist nation

“ Rodger,  I hope you are feeling well with Christmas approaching.  If so, here’s a big downer for you. We have been at war with communism for about 90 years.  Not all our politicians have been fully involved, but over time, we’ve stayed ahead of the commies.  The Soviet Union collapsed under the weight of socialism and Ronald Reagan.  However … Europe is socialist, despite proof it doesn’t work.  While their economies are collapsing, and the reason for the collapse is well known (socialist spending schemes), there is no rush away from socialism.  Russia and its former empire are heading backward toward communism, with few exceptions.  Asia is mostly communist or socialist, with China attempting to have it both ways with a semi-free economy in cities, but crushing socialism in the interior.  Only Japan and South Korea are not fully socialist.  India, which began as socialist, is having second thoughts.  There’s hope there.  South America and Africa are generally socialist.  Mexico is a socialist narco government, imitating Afghanistan. The United States has been sliding toward socialism, and now has a communist president.  Republicans, supposedly the opposition, seem bent on going the same way, just more slowly.  Maybe not much more slowly anymore. So Rodger, is the war already over?  Before we actually have a chance to win?  Look at a map and tell me what you think.  The communists may already have won. Skoonj Good points skoonj.  There does appear to be some disagreement about which countries are socialist/communist.  For instance, Wikipedia does not even hint that the United States is socialist despite this As a rule of thumb and four fingers, I propose that  any member of the UN is a card carrying socialist nation.
