Basically halfway through the story: communism wins due to president luthor having to implement a planned economy to keep the united states afloat. The supreme irony is that by the time the final conflict comes to a head it isn't a battle between socialism and capitalism but rather socialism with Superman characteristics versus socialism with Luthor characteristics.
