 There is no way US is going communist. I can bet with a probability of 99.9999%. We are too capitalistic and I always bet with the rich as they always win in the long run. 
 The rich are the ones who benefit from a communist revolution. Especially if the dollar loses world reserve currency and we can’t print our way out of debt 
 No they don’t. They want capitalism dialed to 11 so they can maintain monopolies and oligarchies. They hold most of their wealth in equities, bonds and commodities which today is valued against $$. They will protect the $$ and sacrifice others. Inflation of printing will be passed on to the lower classes.
