As I like to remind my fellow countrymen, there is nothing in the Constitution that demands a capitalist economy; however there is a great deal of socialism inherent in the Preamble.

And as I point out, there's nothing in socialism which demands the end of capitalism /until you've got round to abolishing the concept of ownership/. By which I mean abolishing the concept of property entirely - no ownership of land, or things, and especially not of people. And that's a very long term project, that one - but part of the socialist project. The USSR was not in any sense a socialist nation; nor were any of its satellite states.
