Title: How do they call themselves socialists?
Post by: soyyo1114873 on June 11, 2012, 12:54 pm
Can someone comment on teh fact that these new "socialists" like the Spanish prime minister, and the new president of France belong to supposedly socialist parties, yet they behave like any other run of the mill capitalist liberal or conservative? They ally themsleves with the banksters and oligarchs instead of with the people and workers.

Because they can. Stupid people buy their shit and give them their votes. Simple as that.

And seeing how the world consists of more morons than people who can think for themselves, these people keep winning elections.

Living in a country that contributes majorly to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), I'd like to know why Mr Mariano Rajoy, Spains Prime Minister has used some of the €100 billion bail out to go visit Poland and watch football? I'm sure this trip with all his entourage and friends must have cost in the tens of thousands?

Surely the money could be put to better use employing even 1 or 2 of the 50% unemployed youth that Spain has?

Oh I do love socialists  ::)

Welcome to Planet Earth.

Where lies are truth, truths are lies, and politics is politics.

Don't expect it to change, just be glad to be here.

I see all that, but I still don't believe it. I think the only true socialist out there is Hugo Chavez; at least he has reduced poverty, illiteracy and bettered the health care system a great deal in Venezuela.
