Better red than dead

As WW 2 came to an end the world found itself with two major powers, Russia and the United States. Russia was developing and would become a communist state while the US remained a free market capitalist system. Stalin and then Khrushchev both said that the two systems cannot co-exist and that communism will win out because capitalism will create a small wealthy class and a large working class, similar to the days when nobility lived in their castles and the peasants toiled in the country side. Communism on the other hand would create equality for everyone following the Marx idea of from each according to his ability to each according to his needs. Interestingly enough Khrushchev's son is now living in Rhode Island working with a green card toward his citizenship. Communist could not beat the free market in open competition so now they are trying to undermine the US by pitting one group against another using race as their first weapon.
