Is socialism dead in Europe? Ehh, probably not

First, America’s MSM likes to whip out a story like this every once in a while, just out of knee-jerk reflex.

You’ll note that, first of all, it doesn’t even discuss Eastern Europe outside the former East Germany. Nor does it discuss Scandanavia.

Next, it cites whatever analysts it does to claim globalism has made Socialism irrelevant. Neoliberal bullshit, in other words.

Third, it gives scant attention to what it is forced to admit, that Socialism appears dead because conservative parties have co-opted more and more of its ideas.
-End-
