Of the US, living or dead who would you pick? Let's assume if they are dead they'd have a couple years to catch up with the modern world.
I vote Thomas Jefferson.

you fail because I said if you could make any person president, as in anyone, regardless of legality. Obviously this is hypothetical and doesn't follow the law since the person wouldn't be elected by democratic elections.

"Milton Friedman for President.
Almost all socialist countries failed hard so far and caused a lot of suffering."
How is the latter not implied by the former? Your retardation needs more medicine and vespene gas.

I vote Christopher Walken, for the living, he might not have any political experience, but damned if he couldn't force any bill into passing or solve any foriegn policy by just staring at his opponents until they feel creeped out and hide.
Assuming we're acutally bringing the dead back to life, not making the dead president after letting their putrified corpses acclimate to modern microorganisms, I say we would need Richard Nixon, back before he was old and paranoid to the point of criminal action. He was smart, educated, tactful and well-spoken, would be able to reverse our foriegn policy errors, and God help you if you got in his way.
Also, for the sake of stopping further arguing, Stalin wasn't a socialist, and barely a communist. Socialism is intrinsically flawed by virtue of the fact that it calls for a forcefully egalitarian society, but with leaders with more power than the common citizen, therefore: paradox. Communism is an economic model that has only been enacted by military-backed despots, and fails mostly due to human error thanks to a lack of automatic checks and balaces, such as the Invisible Hand Theory.

STALIN WASN'T A REAL COMMUNIST, WE MUST KEEP ON GETTING NEW DESPOTS INTO POWER TO MAKE DICTATOR OF PROLETARIAT UNTIL ONE DECIDES TO BE NICE

You're incapable of understanding plain text, just like all the other commiefags.
I don't draw the conclusion that Capitalism is better because Sozialism failed because I already knew that free market is superior.
So the loser countries would have been better of with Capitalism because it was already clear that planned economy sucks ass and it's failure was expected.

Yeah, that sounds like the logic capacity of a glue huffing baboon. You knew that the free market were superior before socialist countries failed, this prolly given to you in a substance induced vision featuring the ghost of Adam Smith giving you a blow job while Milton gave you a lecture on the detrimental effect of democracy on free markets. Well, i had a dream that you tripped on your hands and died from blunt trauma to the rotting lump you call a brain. And i knew you were stupid before you said anything.

Economists proved that it's gay before any country adopted this bullshit.
Well except for the Soviet Union.
But anyone after that was a fucking idiot.

Economists prooved that socialism does not work after 1918 but before what, china? May i remind you that with planned economy the soviet union were able to beat Nazi germany, and both the soviet union and China were transformed from agrarian rural economies into industrial states in record time. But please, i would never argue with an economist and historian of your apparent grandeur, i yield to your superior oratory skill!
not

Good job at pulling random senteces out of your ass and totally missing the point.

It's turning into a dictatorship anyway, so why not?
