Because the communist style of economic socialism was unsustainable. It had no real incentives to reward the productive worker or the enterprising business builder. To the contrary, the Soviet styled economy rewared mediocrity and sloth. Unfortunately, the USA is going down the same dead end as did the USSR. The reason for this, is the real controllers of the nations (certainly not the presidents), but those in charge Behind the Scenes, like the broad economics of socialism because it allows them easier access to plunder the wealth of nations. The USSR was systematically hollowed-out, leaving only a shell of its former self. We see the same thing in America. Most all large manufacturing companies have fled, leaving the USA a pathetic service economy. Nothing is produced. Untold billions are skimmed in churning scams. America, sadly, is in the bloated Elvis stage, ready for a massive heartattack while sitting on the can. But we have football to distract us, thank God!
