like Russia in a few decades.
His view of the US and the communists' of Russia have failed for the same reason: extremism. Government isn't the problem when it's freely elected by free people. A senile old man reading a script written by Scaife and his other masters.
"This is not to say that government is the answer to all our ills. It is only to note that if you think the answer is private enterprise, then push your car to the nearest gas station and see what happens.
The worst part of Reaganism was its political success. It left behind a coterie of panting acolytes who learned from Reagan himself that optimism, cheerfulness, an embrace of magical thinking and the avoidance of the painful truth was the formula for victory at the polls. For a time, it worked - the cost of gas went down - and Carter, that scold in the silly sweater, was banished. As they say in New Orleans, Laissez les bons temps rouler! (Let the good times roll!) Upbeat? You bet. But not a business plan.
In "The Age of Reagan," Princeton historian Sean Wilentz posits that Reagan was the transformative President of our times. I don't know about that. But I doknow that in the recent primary debates, Republican after Republican invoked Reagan the way Democrats once did Roosevelt and they vowed, knock on wood, to be a similar kind of President. If they meant what they said, that would mean no energy plan worth its name and, worse, chirpy assurances to the American people that all would bewell."

ten years, or so. In fact, Abbas Kiarostami is arguably the finest living director (still making worthwhile films).
