If conservative thinking is looked down on as “backward”, and the socialists are the “progressive” thinkers, why should there be these kinds of problems“.
Everybody not working, now that's what I call ”inclusive” economics. No income gap there.
I thought socialism was supposed to provide security. This is not a a socially secure situation.
It's really the banks that have caused all these problems, and George Bush.
Could it have anything to do with politicians borrowing truckloads of cash, and not accomplishing anything real from spending that borrowed cash?

All got bitten by neo-liberalism and free trade insanity.
Instead of a slow but steady development, they chose, or were forced to choose, to run along towards the wall. Now the market failed them and they are watching the companies outsource the future employments mainly to China and other East Asian nations.
Instead of waiting for Merkel to make a move, I'd rather see Europe integrate with the world once again, on the premises of the latter, for obvious reasons.
The UK is choosing USA and that approach, a solution I don't agree with, but they have also shown that they are flexible when needed, especially if it's hitting their wallets...

Jun 01st, 2013 - 11:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Can you name a country as an example of a socialist nation that is engaged instead in a “slow but steady development”.
Kirchnerism in Argentina seems a bit rocky. Is Brazil trying to be socialist?
I still think France and Germany are very socialist oriented, but tell me the country you think is closest to your idea of socialist.
That's an easy one.

Investing the revenues on the masses, to bring prosperity to society.
No matter how many problems your media wishes to highlight.
That some oligarchs miss out on their privileges is a price we are prepared to pay...
Well, up here in Northern Europe, we obviously have nothing to worry about. When comparing argieland, Brazil, Venezuela and Uruguay to my very own little United Kingdom, we are clearly at least 3 x better. Venezuela and argieland have already failed but are surviving, temporarily, on their ability to speak fast, lie and be unintelligible. Still, sooner or later, someone makes you slow down until they can hear each individual word and makes you tell the truth. Either that or they introduce your balls to the effects of a sledgehammer. I make no judgement. Time will tell. But Hitler and Mussolini didn't really “last”, did they?
