"We can't expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism."
Anyone read the Communist Manifesto recently? The USA is marching steadily towards Socialism. Wake up, Americans! -- Anonymous, Chicago

WOW! He actually said this. -- Anonymous

He was right. It's working here! -- Jim, Lombard, IL
It's actually a terrible quote since it's actually happening to America (or Amerika) now. Castro now supports the Demokratic party, what a surprise that is! Individuals and protecting their rights have made the USA the most prosperous country in the world's history. Expanding government with "social" programs and government-approved education creates more citizens dependent on the same government and ignorant to historical facts and believing the government will "take care of me". Complete BS. -- Chad, Bethesda, MD
I am old enough to rememeber what the Russians think of Our Freedoms and Our Rights to worship and the rights we give to others to worship NOT exactly what ATHIESTIC UNBELIEVERS IN the FATHER SON AND the HOLY SPIRIT and GOSPEL OF CHRIST JESUS HOLY BIBLE BOOK ALL the world HAS had. LIKE TO ACCEPT ... GOD BLESS AMERICA SHE AND LADY LIBRERTY is still standing and again fighting for her FREEDOM and HER RIGHTS!!! and now also for the RIGHT OF THE JEWISH people and their LAND!!! -- Sue, Springfield Il.
We are just a hop, skip and a jump away from
a military dictatorship under George W. Bush.
He has his Patriot Act. He has demonstrated his complete contempt for the rule of law. He has moved the U.S. Army stateside to act as his personal military under his complete control, shredding Posse Comitatus. And now the Bush regime-induced market crash. Mussolini could take lessons from Herr Busch. -- Gary, Bellingham
Gary, people like you scare me. -- Anyone, Anytown
This is true as to what is happening here. Only us older people are realizing it and we were out voted by the young idiots, with no job wanting a hand out from commie Obama. Gun sales are brisk here too. -- Cg, Tx
Terrifying, but useful.
I’m 15, so I’m obliged to resent what “Cg, Tx” says.
But sadly, must concur.
I am giving a speech on this quote for my US history class, here’s my last few sentences;
Only when our fundamental principles are granted a higher authority than any government bureau will we have this “peace.” This, “amity,” that so many feel must come, no matter what the consequences.
And yet, what “peace” do we seek? Do we seek the silence of oppression? The tranquility of the subjugated? No, we do not. And as Americans we cannot.

And capitalism is sooooo awesome! Does it have to be one or the other??? I mean, much of Europe is socialist and, having lived there, I really don't think it's as bad as a lot of people IMAGINE BASED ON NO INFORMATION that it is. It is harder there to exploit the little guy so it's harder to become a corporate exploiter. Does America need to be the place where big companies come to create exploitative business practices?? If the answer is yes, then I don't want them. And, if enough people say no then we would have more power. -- Naiburef, MD
Where and when did the F Mr. K say that -- Tovarich, USA
To bad Khrushchev never said it.
Phony quote to boulster a right wing point of view.
-- Dennis, Waupun, WI
Dennis, this quote was given by Krushchev to then secretary of agriculture Ezra Taft Benson in 1959 when Benson hosted him on a half day visit to America. Read and then comment lest we believe you are just an ignoramous. And even if you don't believe he said it, then Benson in his wisdom saw the future and was right on target, because it is happening now and you and Tovarich are living proof of it. -- Andres, Cedar Hills, Ut
Dennis, your spelling is as accurate as is
your political viewpoint. Typical liberal tactic---just say what you feel and to hell with the facts.("If I feel it, it must be true!")
Ezra Taft Benson was indeed prophetic in
his warning coming down to us from 1960.
GRG - Watertown, NY -- George R. Gallagher, Watertown, NY
Benson was right on! Have you read "The Red Carpet" by Benson? He is dead on. Very prophetic. It is happening under our very noses and most people are just basking in "change". Hmmm not the kinda change I want. I hope all of those that wanted change enjoy the tyranny they will reap. -- Diane R, Reno
It's an eye opening quote for the ignorant but not all of us are that stupid.We see what's happening and we hate it! Let Freedom Ring!!!!!!! -- Amy Queen, Lancaster, PA
Gary, stop watching biased news and reading biased newspapers start watching fox news. -- Jake Richey, Atascadero
I feel as though the seeds of communism have been planted in the dark and are being nutured by politicians who are blinded by the light of Obama. -- AM Broad, Streator, IL
-- Anonymous, montgomery, tx
Ah yes! The unrelenting march from capitalism to socialism to communism. Soon the US will be like Russia - We are almost like Canada already! OMG! Communism is creeping over the North Pole! CLOSE THE BORDER WITH CANADA! Keep their single-payer socialist medicine out, before we all start saying "Eh, like, how's it goin comrade.". (Sorry - it's presumptuous of me to make fun of a great American like Krushchev and the people that like to quote him.) -- Anonymous, Minneapolis
Those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it..
Will you oppose Obama's war too? US out of Middle East now!

America Wake Up! this is happening, the X soviet communists literally fund the US communist party, and they have made their entire agenda helping the left defeat the right. We literally have Soviet communists influencing our politics in a bad way. -- Joan, Maimi
