Nope that wasn't socialism that failed, but the banks that failed, and we had to pay for it with the money of our social obligations  (January 3, 2011 at 9:26 pm)Mishka Wrote: Greece? Ireland? France? Britain? Imploding from the weight of their social obligations. No it was as a result of rampant and unrestrained capitalism. You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Imploding from the weight of their social obligations.  Greece is about as far Socialist as America is Capitalist. You want to exlain what the unrestrained capitalism consisted of? 
Since when was Britain or France imploding? Greece and Ireland have gone tits up but not as a result of socialism, however a type of European wide socialism in the form of the EU could be the reason they have not completely failed.
