It's about fricking time...

Yet we still have to argue here multiple times a day with our own "progressives" who tell us our (growing) problems are the result of too little socialism, and that we need to keep on the path to becoming more like Europe:

Hello, Europe is trying to become less like Europe...this isn't rocket science!

FT didn't want to let me read the story. However, there is a clear trend of moving away from socialism. We've seen retreating from socialized medicine and retirement plans.

The fact is, liberals are insane. They love to reward losers, punish production and continue with government policies that are proven ineffective.

And then they blame capitalism when their policies fail (until that starts sounding silly stupid like this situation in Spain).

ironically, when the EU was conceived, most Europeans thought they were becoming more like America. . .

It is hard not to feel some sympathy for Pedro Sánchez these days.

The leader of Spain’s Socialist party is busy travelling the country, giving speeches and interviews, smiling, rallying, hugging and doing all the other things politicians do in an election campaign. Yet the confidence is gone, as is the requisite optimism. If the polls are right, Mr Sánchez is on course to lead his party to yet another painful defeat on June 26.

This time, however, Spain’s Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) looks likely to be beaten not just by the centre-right Popular party but also by the far-left Unidos Podemos movement. According to recent surveys, the once mighty PSOE will come a distant third in this month’s general election, with just 20 per cent of the vote. Not only will it not lead the next government. Barring an unlikely late surge, it will not even lead the Spanish left.
