Re: ....But I'm not sure if "ethical socialism" is the way to go. It's another artificial construct. Just another "ism." Like patriot-ism?? Besides, there's a blooper in your FreeRepublic analysis of Austria's FPO win --as regards: In fact, the threat Mr. Haider poses to Austrian democracy is grossly exaggerated. He is more opportunist than Nazi. True, he has made inflammatory statements calculated both to shock and to win the votes of aging Austrians who may still harbor Nazi sympathies. But Mr. Haider is a modernized right-winger who champions free-market economics, high-tech industry, and a crackdown on crime as well as hostility to a single European currency and further immigration. Much of his program has been lifted from the Heritage Foundation and Cato Institute and sounds extremist only in Europe, where the term free market remains a boo phrase among elites. Extracted from: freerepublic.com Here's a more accurate picture: wsws.org Excerpt: Haider also won a plurality of votes cast by young people, especially young men. Some 35 percent of voters under 30 years of age chose the FPO, while 25 percent from this age group voted for the SPO and 17 percent for the People's Party.
