We can tell it’s already happening by looking at our president.
Never before, in the history of the US, has someone ran for office, and openly told the people they are taking more money from the rich, for no other reason than “they can afford it”.
Candidates in the past wanted to redistribute, but they had to hide it, and push that agenda in sneaky ways. Obama made it a campaign promise, and was loved for it.
Socialism is here, and government does not have to fight the people to get it. We are freely giving it away. It’s an incredibly sad commentary on the state of the world.
Mark my words. Obama will not be the next Castro because he does not have time on his side, but one day the only difference between our president and a dictator, will be the title.

You seriously think the USA will become socialist over the next 4 to 8 years? What Obama wants for the USA is not real socialism, it's more like European politics where the economy is largely private, but the government has slightly more control through public services.
Obama does not want to make the USA into the new soviet union, he wants the USA to be more like France, Britain and just about every other developed country in the world.

Did you miss the "Obama will not be the next Castro because he does not have time on his side"?
No, the US can not turn into Cuba over the next 8 years. But it can over the next 50.

Yeah I read what you said about having time on his side, but that means you think Obama wants to create a Fidel Castro-esque state in the first place. I can assure you he wants the USA to be more like Europe and not like Cuba. If you gave him 50 years I think you would end up with Europe2.0 where private industry by far and away larger than the public industry, as opposed to socialist Cuba.
