Europe’s Socialists Suffering Even in Downturn
A specter is haunting Europe — the specter of Socialism’s slow collapse.
Even in the midst of one of the greatest challenges to capitalism in 75 years, involving a breakdown of the financial system due to “irrational exuberance,” greed and the weakness of regulatory systems, European Socialist parties and their left-wing cousins have not found a compelling response, let alone taken advantage of the right’s failures.
This is hilarious! “Even in Downturn” – because, you know, its natural for people to look to the Nanny State when things get rough…heck, all the liberals the NY Times knows do it, right? “Challenges to capitalism”…hey, I know there are capitalists hip deep in the poop on this, but what crashed wasn’t capitalism – it was the abuse of capital by Big Corporation and Big Government. “Have not found a compelling response”…because the whole set up was theirs to begin with. This is the ultimate failure of socialism – even the soft, cuddly socialism of the Euro-left.
Topping off the joke is that the NY Times is serious – they really are flabbergasted at this turn of events. And there is in this the dark hint: What if the American people turn out to be just like this? What if, even during a down turn caused by the failure of capitalism, they move away from Obama and his Democrats? The thought is making them break out in a cold sweat.
Nothing but fun from now until November of 2010, boys and girls…
