But, I'll answer anyway.
I'm well versed in Marx actually. The Labour Party for which I'm a member is considered to be a Democratic Socialist party with a capitalist flavour. We aren't as socialist as certain ideologies in France & Germany mind you. But, that's a chat for a different thread. In the end I agree mate; people do tend on using political words out of context.
THN: Although, I'm from an Island nation we Brits do indeed consider ourselves European. I've ridden all sorts of transport all over Europe and never gotten stuck in some shite hole in the bloody middle of nowhere. And, that included riding on some proper shite railways seeing relatives in Kiev. Issues that you were describing May more accurately be pointed at countries such as Bulgaria, Bosnia, Croatia, etc...I served in Bosnia before & during that whole festering turd of a mess and that is where your example holds true.
It's not a judgement of good or bad. It's an observation as to how ppl throw words and sound bites around without knowing what they mean. Originally Posted by str8.2.bbbj
