And yet the socialism continued. German thinkers led the way in resolving socialism's problems in the 1930s. The vast majority of Germans completely supported Herr Hitler's national socialism. And now you have other enormous problems don't you? My wife's hometown of Weurzburg looks like any Islamic republic these days. When we left Germany the last time in the 1980s is was still European.Spot on! I can't "like" this posting enough!
I'd just like to add... the socialists did not just fight the fascists in the Spanish civil war. In Germany, the socialists of the Social Democratic Party were even the fathers of the 1919 Constitution and the republic, the strongest defenders of the republican system against commies, monarchists and Nazis alike, and the only party voting against Hitler's Enabling Act in 1933.
If there is one German party that can truly claim to have fought and died for freedom, republicanism and democracy, it's the (then) socialists of the SPD (they dropped Marxism in 1959 and became a mainstream center-left party later).
You have not crashed yet but you have the same sickness as the rest of Europe.
