    One reason Nixon kept the Vietnam War going for so long was that it was a money maker for US industry. Besides the steel mills making the bombs, there were ships carrying the munitions, trucks delivering the munitions, etc etc.

    Remember, in 1960 US minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the price of a home was $11,000.00

        Neither the Soviets or Chinese have socialism.

        Many democratic socialists would contend that neither system fully realized socialism’s core principles of democratic economic participation and equitable distribution of resources.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
