Sweet arc. Reminds me of the story Parenti tells about ppl in the soviet bloc hoping that with the fall of the USSR, that they would gain the consumer cornucopia of the west, but get to keep all the social services, job security, and quality of life they had gained through socialism (they didn't gain the first, and lost the 2nd).

This comrade got to see first hand the US's horrible inequality and poverty, and that the chinese marxists were correct.
