You should rephrase that as "I am arguing in a purely nationalistic way".

I've never seen Migeru being an apologist for Spain, though I've been around a LOT longer than you.
Whereas you are here quite happy to give logical seniority to German conventional wisdom over the laws of arithmetics.

Re: Demonization (none / 0)

Pulling rank?

I have never defended german conventional economic wisdom. or shifted the blame to say the US or Spain or whatever other country. I just tend to point out that the global cultural dominance of certain economic dogmas can't be fought by indulging in nationalism.

I would like to achieve a bit more of a international left. Or at least european left.
