You won’t hear that much in the US. ‘Communism’ was demonized through the cold war period. IMO the issue was more centralized control / totalitarianism than ownership-by-all, which didn’t happen in the USSR. I’d question whether it’s at all possible for a nation to ‘go communist’ without the same thing happening (e.g. takeover by Lenin’s ‘party vanguard’).

Capitalism does need control, though. Even the classical Athenians were aware that unbridled commerce would lead to inequality and thus to social overturn. Our current situation has striking similarities to the Gilded Age, only the ‘low cost workers’ have been replaced by automation — so there isn’t a similar way out. The robots won’t go on strike. Our CEO-to-average-worker pay ration is the highest in the world. It’s much more modest in Sweden, where the change was driven not by labor action, but rather by shareholders— so there’s hope.

BTW/FWIW, I’d expect the ‘wall’ you are referring to is the end result of the US containment strategy, first put forth in George Kennan’s ‘long telegram’.

‘Star Wars’ (based around satellite mounted lasers driven by one-shot H-bombs) was a further containment. I knew a couple of the physicists involved — they thought it was pretty ridiculous, participated even so as it gave them a chance to do ‘interesting physics’. But the Soviets thought that it was a step to the US having a first strike capability they couldn’t deter. Read David Hoffman’s ‘Dead Hand’ for a view on the Soviet reaction to the possibility of this (could be something straight out of Dr. Strangelove, e.g. ‘we can’t stop the launch’) and how close we came to the brink.
