The Left in Europe

The New York Times had a long article about the decline of the Left in Europe, only days before the landslide victory of the socialists in Greece. And the article does not mention that people have been disappointed with the traditional left, say in Germany, because of its long line of compromises. In fact, the German elections witnessed an excellent show by the far left. So if you ad what The Left and the Greens have gotten, you are talking about more than a fifth of the voters, not to count the traditional Social Democrats (23.5%). You really will not learn about the world from reading the New York Times. I only read it carefully to know what the Empire is up to.
