Another fantastic piece Stew. Here I am an 86 year old white man, learning so much from a much younger black man.This piece has opened my eyes Stew. I see things in a different light, but have no answer or cure. You are a gift.
As I read this piece, I imagined the center in Weimar Germany in 1932, and compared it to the center in National Socialist Germany in 1938, Surely the center shifted right, far right, as it is doing today in America.
As regards the Soviet Union. the 1984/85 Annual Report of the Bank for International Settlements, BIS), the central bank of central banks, said in it's report that the USSR was a failed economic experiment and needed to be restructured. Then Gorbachev showed up did the job, for which he was rewarded with a handsome pension, a dacha on Lake Geneva, and hisown NGO, the Green Cross.
In the 1922 Fortnightly magazine, Russia was described as combine of seven trusts, organized along resource lines, human (KGB), forestry, mining, industry, transportation, agriculture, energy, etc
I suspect that in Russia, the center never moved
\With the restructuring the Soviet Union, the trusts were sold off, by the KGB, which never restructured only changed name, to oligarchs who were either KGB or connected.

Thanks, William, I learn a great deal from your comments. We are constantly learning, all the way to the end. That's the beauty of human life.
They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but who ever said that didn't meet Stewart Beckham. This old dog is 86 years old.
