Re: Nationalisation is the solution (4.00 / 2)

I wonder if nationalizations are going to happen in Portugal and if we will witness our government telling us not to worry because it is not socialism.

You can be, say The Labour Party, and discard something for being socialist. But when your party is called "Partido Socialista", i wonder how you do it?

"Don't worry, this is not communism."

A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
