...Godwin’s law doesn’t really belong in SRS discussion. Beyond that, I have to stay silent, as I don’t know enough European history to weigh in on this.

Socialism sucks.

Democracy sucks, but often it seems to last a bit longer because there are more folks from all the different ideological dogmas doing whatever works in their respective areas.

The only systems that are guaranteed fail are those proposed by Ayn Rand.
