Bad mouthing Europe : a favorite right-wing and euro-sceptic sport

Does anyone notice that every time we hear about problems in Europe, the rabid right-wing capitalists come out of their well protected corrupt holes and immediately spout a bunch of "I told you so's".

Forgetting of course that the world's current strongest and fastest growing economies have or have had socialist leanings ... Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Brazil, Turkey, India, and yes CHINA! The latter being a truly bastardized and prostituted version of both.

This all is not really about economics, or is it? Maybe we should not see it that way.  Try and see it as a way to look at an era of broken ideals where we are trying to reinvent socially sustainable ways to live - sans the ever present emphasis on finance!
