Since USSR comprised half the perpetuating stand-off, maybe so.
Such a Grand turn-around, actually completed ... might possibly have overcome the US National solipsism (merely "improved" situation, though? Our ayatollahs and pecksniffs would do exactly what they have done since before BHO got the brass-plated Zinc Ring: for as many years. No?)
Still, examples of superior handling of Med-care, Gender, Prisons, Labor -vs- Owners regulations etc. have always fallen on deaf ears here--the water? Puritan toxicity + hubris?--many have tried to encapsulate "a" fatal-flaw in the dis-US, even before it earned the nick. Seems quite more than "a" flaw in the local genes.
Scandinavia alone, could provide many a How-to, for any authentic seeking of Better-versions. (My Aunt Florence, a teacher in the '30s and on, was surely toying with dumping Fat-Cat-ipalist status quo; she was smart, among other qualities.) Murica Doesn't Listen/its xenophobia cannot conceive of better-than-US, no matter how presented the alternative. We already ken the anti-intellectualism as: one of those n+99 flaws.
Hmmm, though: were a head-transplant possible in the Peoples' Republic of Putin: and such a Grand, actually humanitarian gesture to race to --> an undeniable, operating-Conclusion!! ??
¡Wow! ... such a Nuclear anti-bloviation Weapon of Mass Construction might.. de-zombify even this tribe of sleepwalkers ... If. Anything. at. all. COULD.
Thanks for the Thought! even moi be surprised that (any example) might overcome the narcotic-slumber of the many on full-autopilot, in a facsimile-liff.
