| Socialism - Germans Support Another Try |
| 2005-08-28 |
From David's Medienkritik:Poll shows strong resonance for Leftist principles in Germany Actually, Germany already found the third way between capitalism and socialism: 10 % unemployment rate, shrinking of real disposable income, deteriorating public services, severe financing problems of the health system, etc., etc. Even if a new government is voted in, the prospects are bleak.

| #11 Right Socialism is a great idea on paper the problem is we live in the REAL WORLD were human nature is envolved. In some Eutopian Dream sure everone will be the good little cog in the great machine and the leaders will be uncoruptable and just do whats good for the people only cough the great machine. It is simply that if everyone makes and lives equally then why would person X work his ass off to be above the norm quota when thier is no benefit. This explains why the Soviets and the US both equal in tech after WW2 steadily from that time say the Soviets falll further and further behind as the US made more and more leaps of technology and NEW ideas. The whole idea that makes capalism work so well is the benefits for hard work that force people to work hard "strong survive weak die out". And the Leaders always somehow end up living in Dacha's all over the place sipping high dolar whine livin the good life while everyone else is equally dead as poor surviving with no hope of improvement and if improvement no reward for such. And Murray I really like the idea of trading our LLL's for thier Capatalist thats even better than my idea of just deporting the LLL's. |

#10 In a poll conducted for Spiegel by TNS Infratest, 56% of west germans and 66% of east germans agree with this statement: "Socialism is a good idea that has so far been poorly implemented." One word: Insanity. |

| #7 The German media are like the media here in the US controled by the left. Simply the people don't even know what is really going on. All they do know is that the USA is evil and all Amis are fat and stupid people who drive SUVs and Germany is better than the USA. Sad but true. |

| #4 I vote for setting up a "Bring Real Germans over Here" fund to bring TGA and his ilk over to the productive GDP countries. We'll even throw in our socialists and hard core liberals in trade! |

| #3 [sigh]. Socialism also seems to always involve putting a whole bunch of people in concentration camps. |

#2 "Socialism is a good idea that has so far been poorly implemented."I had no idea over half the Germans are completely INSANE (not to mention uneducated about history and dumb as dirt). TGA, I feel for you and other Germans with common sense. Was it always like this, and we just didn't notice, or is this a recent phenomenon? :-( |

| #1 A kinder gentler Zimbabwe. At least they won't have the capital to build up their military. Thank goodness for small favors. |
