A new study by the Pew Research Center has found that twenty years after the fall of the Berliner Mauer (that’s the Berlin Wall for those of us who like to sound more intelligent than we are) support for democracy in the former Soviet Bloc has, by comparison to a similar survey carried out in 1991, subsided quite considerably. Approval for capitalism amongst the nearly 15,000 people questioned was also down, even though most still preferred it over communist rule. The exception being the Ukrainians, a mere 30% of whom view the change to democracy positively.
Hostility towards ethnic and religious minorities has, according to the survey, abated slightly in the region, but a staggering 84% of Czechs still have an unfavourable opinion of gypsies, as do 78% of Slovakians, 69% of Hungarians, 56% of Bulgarians, and 33% of people from the former GDR. Worthy of note, though, is that Western Europeans share such prejudices in equal measure, particularly with regard to Muslims.
On the whole the research indicates that the freedoms offered by a multiparty democratic political system appeal more to the young and better educated, whilst many older citizens still view their communist past with a degree of nostalgia (some would say senility). The Germans coined the word “ostalgie” (literally East Nostalgia) to represent this very sentiment. . . . .
The corrupting world wide, private enterprise, of the “Narcotics Trade, the “Prostitution Rings,” the corrupting influence of government politicians, on the take, being bought off, and treated like a valuable commodity, by the “Merchants of world wide “Private Capital.” These “Free enterprise merchants of death, that starts world wars, so that they can make “Blood Money” on the backs of the ordinary citizen soldiers. This powerful capitalist oligarchy, that has power that is all consuming and is of global proportion, dwarfs our government, and every government on the planet. This insidious, global private sector, causes more damage, then governments, because it has bought off most of the politicians and corrupted them, and infiltrated governments on the entire planet. It is this conglomeration of world wide capitalist rule, that rules the people of the world, with an iron hand.
Those that are a part of our PRIVATE SECTOR, …for the sake of making a profit, has and had, … made a “Pact, With The Devil,” …and the “PUBLIC BE DAMNED!”
By pretending that the “GOVERNMENT is the ENEMY,” those that can’t see too well, are distracted from the real enemy, and that enemy is the global oligarchy, of “Capitalist Blood Suckers,” that are intent on continuing their bloody war, on the average, ordinary citizen.
These criminal, PRIVATE ENTERPRISE, world wide syndicates, are fighting this criminal murderous war, all over our capitalist planet.
Only a planned “Socialist Economy,” can rid our planet of the corrupting influence of the private enterprise of criminal gang activity, that is organized to compete, kill, rape, and murder, …for profit and power!
