Socialism - Germans Support Another Try
From David's Medienkritik:
Poll shows strong resonance for Leftist principles in Germany
Leftist political principles resonate well among German voters. In a poll conducted for Spiegel by TNS Infratest, 56% of west germans and 66% of east germans agree with this statement: "Socialism is a good idea that has so far been poorly implemented." 50% in the west and 73% in the east agree that Karl Marx's criticisms of Capitalism are still relevant today.
Actually, Germany already found the third way between capitalism and socialism: 10 % unemployment rate, shrinking of real disposable income, deteriorating public services, severe financing problems of the health system, etc., etc.
Even if a new government is voted in, the prospects are bleak.
