In this particular instance it is not very difficult to imagine scenarios in the not - too - distant future in which there might occur resurgences
of socialist policies and ideals: the
failure of neo-capitalist regimes in developing societies and / or the formerly Communist countries in Europe to achieve economic take - off; the insight granted to sundry dictators and despots that, while socialism invariably immiserates the
masses, it is a very good recipe for enriching those who claim to hold power as the vanguard
of the
masses; the «creeping socialism» (still an aptly descriptive term) brought on by massive government intervention in the economy in the name
of some societal good, e.g., there could be an environmentalist road to socialism, or a feminist one, or one constructed (perhaps inadvertently) with some other building blocks
of politically managed regulations and entitlements; or, last but not least, the actual restoration
of socialism, by coup or by voting, in a
number of countries, beginning with Russia.
Using liquid chromatography -
mass spectrometry (a process that separates complex mixtures and analyzes ingredients by measuring a weight - to - charge ratio), researchers compared the constituent chemicals in the food to standards for common molds, heavy metals and ethylene glycol (or antifreeze, which Goldstein says is the
number one cause
of kidney
failure).
