Thank you ThePeoplesCube

Thank you ThePeoplesCube | We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism, until they suddenly awake to find they have communism.

Khrushchev never said that. It's actually - and I swear I'm not making this up - from a speech by Ronald Reagan saying "Three months ago, Kruschev said"

Everyone said it was a fake quote then, and I'm saying it's a fake quote now.

Go to ThePeoplesCube website- done by a former USSR Agitprop Artist who moved to the US.

I'm thinking he knows a lot more about Khruschev than anybody here.

"In Russia, all you have to do to get a house is to be born in the Soviet Union. You are entitled to housing. In America, if you don't have a dollar you have a right to choose between sleeping in a house or on the pavement. Yet you say we are the slave to communism.". - NK

I swear I here the AOC socialist saying pretty much the same thing

Also there is no evidence the quote is false. It's unconfirmed, but that means they can't he he didn't say it either.

Quite apart from anything else, Marxists firmly believe that capitalism is destroyed by its own machinations. They don't believe it happens by a piecewise bait and switch - they predict that it becomes obvious to us all that capitalism has failed by its own hand. So, yes, I confidently say that Kruschev wouldn't have said that, and Reagan made it up. That's really pretty clear.

Can you prove that Abrabam Lincoln never said "jplowry777 is full of crap"?

I mean, not everything he said was on record, and just because your screenname didn't exist yet doesn't mean he wouldn't have thought of it at some point, does it?

Look at you. You're getting upset defending a Communist.

I am only repeating what multiple sources say, that the quote is contested. Wiki, Snopes and others say the same thing. They can't verify it. That's all I am saying.

Now calm down.

I'm not defending anyone - I'm attacking you! Insisting on proving a negative is nonsense in this situation.

Again, your attack seems devoid of merit. I am merely restating what numerous outlets are stating, that is possible NK said this, but they can't confirm the exact date and time.
