Was the U.S. in the 1970s a socialist country? Or how about in the late 1940s?

Most certainly not, Медвежонок, and I doubt it will become one in the near future (although some aspects of it are already here). Nevertheless, it's always good to highlight socialist propaganda.

Apparently, we were significantly more socialist in the mid-1960s.
