i love the Internetz i can google up stuff you are talking about....
i have some knowledge of what you ae discussing but for instence
i had no idea that currently the "Golden Dawn" is a Greek neo-nazi/fascist/ultra-rightng party! gak! I'm 2nd gen half greek-american. the other half is 2nd gen ukraine-american.
So this thread started i didn't know till i saw it here that there arte neo-nazis involved in this (i went and looked up more stuff on line) and the Svoda party gak to both!
I am one of your more continuing to educate mtself Americans (USA'r)... i have trouble with Putin, AND the uber Corporatists in the usa and all that extreme transnational race-to-the-bottom push on workers.
now i grew up during the cold war - near middle-ish onwards as far as becoming morecogent of the wider world around me. And most people back then couldn't tell a communist from any kind of socialist unless you were embroiled in the factions there in And the nyc area was full of that! So i find myself decdes later being (after listening, reading etc ) I do reject comunism ...not so different from back then but much more knowkedge/experience .
I didn't know there was a range in capitalism... i absolutely reject the laize-faire model. I prefer what i've heard refered to as capitalism-with-a-human-face. Much more regulated <not like it has become> But also have a much higher regard for mixed economies, the nordic-style Democratic Solcialist coutries <still a bit unconfortable w saying that b/c of whence i grew up in but it's true>
Now Pres Franklin D Roosevelt did propse what he called a "second bill of rights" an "economic bill of rights" oing beyond what he ghad already started to put in place....but his death precluded that from going foward.
and you probably hear from time to time how conservartives/right-wing republicans in the usa have been trying to destroy what FDR, later Lyndon Johnson and more expanded on since the get go! what fight we have here!
One thing you don't hear too much about in Obama Care Health Careis that the states are allowed to experiement some with health caare delivery. in Vermont they are allowed to set up their own version of <gasp>
single-payer. If it works out it could be the back door for which it'll sprea across the whole usa.that's how it started in Canada with um...one provence.
i'l be looking foward to reading more of your posts ase things continue i hope despite typos i miss < it's very late here
