If you're referring to the USSR, you are leaving out some very important facts:

GoogleAI Overview

"Key ways the CIA applied pressure include:

• "Economic Warfare and Sabotage: The Reagan administration, under CIA Director William Casey, implemented a strategy of economic pressure and sabotage. A notable instance involved the CIA providing the Soviets with flawed software for the Trans-Siberian gas pipeline, which was programmed to fail after a period of time and resulted in a massive explosion in 1982, damaging the Soviet economy."

what's the point? that had it not been for Reagan there would still be a ussr?

How many Chinese have lost their lives at the hands of their government in order to create the current number of Chinese billionaires?

The bolded part is a great question, the remainder is a deflection from the evil regime that is the Jinping Dynasty.

Only in the mind of MAGA:

Anyone with even a cursory knowledge of Communism knows what it means. The STATE controls everything and distributes resources to the subservient PEOPLE as it deems fit.

what's the point? that had it not been for Reagan there would still be a ussr?

Reagan's military buildup, offensive rhetoric, and full-throated support for foreign terrorists like Afghanistan's mujahideen, and Nicaragua's Contras served to undermine the legitimacy of Soviet communism and signal detente was over; however, the USSR fell because of its "...deep internal weakness that long pre-dated his presidency."

Do you believe a banker's dictatorship and their debt-money system like the one in the US serves the PEOPLE any better?

Chapter 49 — The History of Banking Control in the United States

"This fight of the International Financiers to install their fraudulent debt-money system has been particularly vicious in the United States of America since its very foundation, and historical facts show that several American statesmen were well aware of the dishonest money system the Financiers wanted to impose upon America, and of all of its harmful effects.

"These statesmen were real patriots, who did all that they possibly could to maintain for the U.S.A. an honest money system, free from the control of the Financiers."

Around 1750 Ben Franklin explained to the British why the colonies were experiencing prosperity while England was rife with poverty:

“In the Colonies we issue our own money. It is called Colonial Scrip. We issue it in proper proportion to make the products pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner, creating ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power, and we have no interest to pay to no one.”

"The English bankers, being informed of that, had a law passed by the British Parliament prohibiting the Colonies from issuing their own money, and ordering them to use only the gold or silver debt-money that was provided in insufficient quantity by the English bankers.

"The circulating medium of exchange was thus reduced by half."​

So why don't you answer the question?

How many Chinese were killed creating the 400-500 billionaires currently living in China?

How does the alleged "evil regime" in China compare to the Evil of supporting the ongoing genocide in Gaza?

Israel Kills Over 30 Palestinians in Gaza in One of Bloodiest Assaults of "Ceasefire"

If you are an American, why not clean up your own country before worrying about China?

The answer to your question is somewhere between 0 and not very many. There is no regime on Earth today that rivals the evil of the Xinping Regime. What kind of government launches a state sponsored program to poison hundreds of thousands of Americans with Fentanyl? Or condemn a million Muslim Uighurs to slave labor? Or create a killer virus, let it escape and not immediately quarantine it?

Reagan's military buildup, offensive rhetoric, and full-throated support for foreign terrorists like Afghanistan's mujahideen, and Nicaragua's Contras served to undermine the legitimacy of Soviet communism and signal detente was over;

the legacy of a great president

however, the USSR fell because of its "...deep internal weakness that long pre-dated his presidency."

which is my claim that you credited to Reagan..."communism destroys whatever it infects"

ChatGPT: "How much did Ronald Reagan contribute to the demise of the USSR"?

Depends on your meter...using leftwing propaganda meters like yours he was both responsible for the failure of it and had nothing to do with it...just go back and re-read your last few posts to find out how true that is.

What role do you see for US government involvement in the release of SARS-CoV-2?

What Might the US Owe the World for Covid-19? — Jeffrey D. Sachs

"The US government (USG) funded and supported a program of dangerous laboratory research that may have resulted in the creation and accidental laboratory release of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that caused the Covid-19 pandemic.

"Following the outbreak, the USG lied in order to cover up its possible role. The US Government should correct the lies, find the facts, and make amends with the rest of the world..."

"The evidence of a possible laboratory creation revolves around a multi-year US-led research program that involved US and Chinese scientists.

"The research was designed by US scientists, funded mainly by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Defense, and administered by a US organization, the EcoHealth Alliance (EHA), with much of the work taking place at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

"Here are facts that we know as of today..."

Because the richest one percent have bribed the best government money can buy to steal $50 Trillion from productive Americans over the past few decades.

The Top 1% of Americans Have Taken $50 Trillion From the Bottom 90%—And That's Made the U.S. Less Secure

And yet the US ranks #1 in the world for disposable income per capita. A rising tide lifts all boats. It isn’t Republican’s fault that Democrats keep shooting holes in theirs.

Wow. The libs sure have done a great job of derailing the thread from the topic: The Commie’s promise of free child indoctrination care.

I saw him on the news last night, in which he was saying he absolutely would give free [fill in blank], although he hasn’t figured out yet where to get the money from.

Communist countries love nothing more than taking pre-school age kids and keeping them all week for “free” so they can proceed with their indoctrination. My wife was born in a Communist country and she was dropped off at daycare and pre-school on Sunday am and picked up Friday. The children slept there all week. All for “free”.

Why would you find it remarkable the richest country in history leads the world in disposable income?

• "Disposable income is the amount of money a household has available for spending and saving after income taxes have been deducted."

Disposable Income by Country 2025

Your alleged "rising tide lifts all boats" isn't applicable since the greed of the richest one percent of Americans has bribed government for tax and trade policies that have allowed them to redistribute $50 Trillion of income upwards over the past half-century

"...had the more equitable income distributions of the three decades following World War II (1945 through 1974) merely held steady, the aggregate annual income of Americans earning below the 90th percentile would have been $2.5 trillion higher in the year 2018 alone.

"That is an amount equal to nearly 12 percent of GDP—enough to more than double median income—enough to pay every single working American in the bottom nine deciles an additional $1,144 a month.

"Every month.

"Every single year."

"Price and Edwards calculate that the cumulative tab for our four-decade-long experiment in radical inequality had grown to over $47 trillion from 1975 through 2018.

"At a recent pace of about $2.5 trillion a year, that number we estimate crossed the $50 trillion mark by early 2020.

"That’s $50 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of working Americans had inequality held constant—$50 trillion that would have built a far larger and more prosperous economy..."

Our Democrat corrupted NIH and Dr. Fauci definitely played a hand in the DEVELOPMENT of the Covid-19 strain providing funding. The Wuhan Virology Lab has total responsibility for the leak, using shoddy Bio-safety level (BSL) 2 instead of the strictest BSL 4. Xi Jinping made the conscious decision to release it to the world by not immediately restricting foreign travel in and out of China.

Why would you find it remarkable the richest country in history leads the world in disposable income?

I don't find it remarkable. I was merely pointing out that this terrible system, as you describe it, in the US has made us very wealthy per-capita as compared to the rest of the world. Why on earth would we adopt a system that lowers our per capita disposable income?

The system he proposes can't make everyone equal at the top, but can make them equal at the bottom.

 

[SweetTea]

The system he proposes can't make everyone equal at the top, but can make them equal at the bottom.

I think he fails to realize that most people in the US are wealthy as compared to the rest of the world, even if they are poor compared to the upper class in the US. The proposal is to make most people less well-off so that the wealthy people will be punished and brought down to everyone else's level. The problem with that is that the wealthiest people stay at the top under Socialism. They end up running the government. It is a very misguided idea.

That and the fact he figures it's easier to buy votes from the poor than from the wealthy.

See: Mamdani’s Free Childcare Plan Is the New Progressive Test Case

"Mamdani’s proposal for free citywide childcare could reset the conversation about what local government owes working families. He advocates for public responsibility for basic needs like care and food access, proposing city-owned grocery stores to combat food deserts and rising prices."

For Mamdani’s free childcare to become a reality in New York City, Mamdani would have to end the NYC’s 3% Plus income tax on NYC’s hard working wage earners paychecks.

Has Mamdani proposed to end confiscating the 3% plus New York City’s income tax on NYC’s poor working families?

JWK

Mamdani’s strategy, like the Democrat Party Leadership’s game plan, is to lie, distort, deflect and project an illusionary picture to gain support. This strategy is based on the self-evident truth that a lie and misrepresentations will circle the earth before the truth gets its shoes on.

Dipshit New Yorkers are about to find out how expensive "free shit" is.

Democrats are not the only villains in the Covid saga, the CIA, DARPA, the University of North Carolina (UNC), and EcoHealth Alliance also contributed along with the Wuhan Institute of Virology:

Jeffrey Sachs Presents Evidence of Possible Lab Origin of Covid-19

"EHA is a reference to EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit research group based in New York City that has received more than $118 million in grants and contracts from federal agencies.

"WIV, or the Wuhan Institute of Virology, is a Chinese research organization that collaborated with EcoHealth Alliance in the past and was listed as a subcontractor on the DARPA grant.

"UNC is mentioned because Ralph Baric, a molecular biologist at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, was to have conducted part of the work pitched to DARPA.

"The grant proposal touted Baric’s 'two-decade track record of reverse engineering [coronavirus] and other virus spike proteins.'"
