That's correct, Paul. Nor did the Pope for that matter. That is another one that makes me laugh. Another authoritarian who gets credit for the collapse of the Soviet Union. LOL As a matter of fact, not many more organizations are more collectivist and anti-capitalist than the Catholic Church, well maybe the Rupublican Party is lol , but neither Reagan nor the Pope can be credited with that 'triumph. The Soviet system collapsed upon itself, it was a sick, untenable economic/political system that was not self-sustaining, and its collapse was simply inevitable and natural.
