Socialism Shows Up

FRANCE has a new socialist leader, only the second socialist to attain the french presidency since world war two. reports in the american conservative media of the death of liberalism, as always, prove premature.

europe has been socialistic for a long time, particularly since world war two. taxes are high, government services are comprehensive, and corporate capitalism is heavily regulated.

and europe is more prosperous, less violent, and better educated than the united states.

in fact, europe, like japan, is sufficiently prosperous that the united states ought to withdraw All military bases and forces from those places and require them to defend themselves. but america is addicted to her vast empire, and europe and the japanese are addicted to the money they save by not maintaining large military infrastructure, at least, not nearly as large as would be necessary were they entirely on their own.

the united states has its fair share of socialism, and it isn't going anywhere, despite conservatives gnashing of teeth and claims to the contrary. america might very well be forced to freeze social welafare spending, making things tight for millions of welfare, social security, and social security disability reciepients; the fundamental concepts of socialism seem here to stay.

america has had socialism before, before FDR, though in our current conservative era, initiated by ronald reagan, people often forget that. during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries socialist movements were quite common in the U.S.; world war two, and the creation of the national security stated dominated by the military - industrial complex, put an end to all that.

but now the natives are restless again, as corporate profits soar, the per capita standard of living declines, the poor proliferate, and become ever poorer and more desperate. occupy wall street, seemingly on ice for now, might be only the tip of the proverbial iceberg in the long term. we are restless, and greatly dissatisfied. upheavals may be imminent, so hold on tight.
