Yes, anything and everything is possible, but evidence is not there that the US will be socialist in our lifetime. It is an uneven process, yes, but when you consider that Sweden is the one and only proven success of the success of socialism we have, along with possibly Canada. Other European nations have elements of socialism but are not pure socialism. And do not give me Cuba and Venezuela as examples of socialism's success-you hardly need to be a right wingnut to see that socialism has failed in both those nations. In the 1700s the concept of a democratic republic was gaining truly widespread support from Americans, I dont, at least not yet, see socialism as having the same mass support now. Plus, mixing economic systems and govt systems is not the same thing-many, perhaps most nations, have one type of govt but an economic system that mixes different economic theories. There are few nations that are purely Capitalist or purely Socialist.
