Sanderson,
The Soviet Union accomplished in two decades what it took Britain and the
United States 200 years to accomplish. And the Soviet Union had a standard
of living and quality of life that far exceeded most capitalist countries
before, during, and since. In fact, the socialist world system puts the
capitalist world system to shame on quality of life and equality
measures. I don't need to dismiss the metaphysics of human nature to punch
holes in typical anti-communist propaganda and pro-capitalist mythology.
The facts do just fine.
