What will Britain's Labor Coup mean for Poland? [100]
There are mixed economies where private capital is allowed and these tend to be the most liveable countries in the world.
I know....Germany has a long great tradition with "Social Democracy"....a way to counter the worst excesses of unchecked Capitalism. But even they have to take care of their more radical left wing, since Socialism...any socialist ideas....are no vote winner in Germany. The "Left" is generally losing percents every election now.
But that was since 1989....the global left was defeated then, not only in the former Eastern Bloc countries. The western left still has not gotten over this, I wonder if that is at least a talking point in western left parties, sometimes I doubt that! Just ignoring that big elephant in the room, just avoiding the words, won't help in the long run. It needs a new story, something outside of the old known books....something new!
