It moved to North America. (http://www.lewrockwell.com/2013/08/eric-peters/the-ussr-didnt-disappear-in-1991/)

Evidence continues to accrue that the Soviet Union did not disappear in 1991. It simply transplanted itself to another part of the world.

Here.

One of the hallmarks of the Soviet System was top-down central planning – with “incentives” provided by the government. Natural market mechanisms were crippled. You got what the government decided you needed – at whatever price the government decided was appropriate.

The result – back then – was the Trabant and Lada.

The Trabant wasn't a soviet car.

I think communism started in the USA right about the time it started in Russia. Americans are just too dumb and arrogant to notice.

On the dot, and with the same excuse--WWI. But the Russians dived in head first. Americans stuck our toe in and said, hell no! And the power hungry said this could take a while.

I think in the case of America, we were forced in, every step of the way. The biggest challenge being the cold war - all the propaganda used against communism made for some real marketing challenges. With all that out of the way, and a new enemy in "terrorism", communism and its sister (socialism) have returned to the "evolved" and "sophisticated" forms of governing human livestock. Or as Yuri Maltsev calls it, public slavery.
