Sixty years ago people said it will NEVER happen.

Khrushchev's Message 61 years ago.

Khrushchev also said "We [Communism} will bury you!"  A quick read but a lasting thought.  Pretty scary now.

THIS WAS HIS ENTIRE QUOTE:  September 29, 1959:

"Your children's children will live under communism, You Americans are so gullible.  No, you won't accept communism outright; but we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We will not have to fight you; We will so weaken your economy, until you will fall like overripe fruit into our hands."
