The fall of communism took place around 1989-1991 with the tearing down of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of the former Soviet Union, and it's satellite allies. This was a great and celebrated liberation, after decades of austere and difficult life behind the Iron Curtain for millions.

Now, apparently, there is a limitless number of uneducated and/or gullible idiots in the United States who want to bring it back! They may not directly come right out and say it, but it's happening at an alarming and breakneck pace. For all of it's flaws, having a free market economy is vastly superior, offering up a much more abundant lifestyle for those who work in and benefit from it. Most of the world does not live as well as we do in the United States and Europe, and some other free democracies. DO NOT take it for granted. We could just as easily lose it.
