| #5 Many times, these magazines will allow free preview prior to publishing. Links posted to facebook and twitter to ramp up some buzz and then they lock it down. also, in posting article, you don't get to copy material, only post a link. |

| #3 I don't have a ft subscription. When I submitted the link the article was still accessible. Here's an alternative link. There's a lot of whitewashing in the article. "The Left" is not an ex-communist party, it is a communist party. "The Left" is not the 'heir' or the 'successor' to the Communist Party of East Germany, it is the renamed SED of East Germany. All of this has to be seen in light of the authoritarian/totalitarian restoration in Eastern Europe. This is not a good development. |

| #2 You know what I love? Links to subscription-only sites like ft.com, with the body of the article not copy and pasted. Wow, it's like the submitter thinks *everyone* is like him! |
