31. Not true. Britain, France & Germany are all moving in a path very

parallel to our own. The ruling parties there are NOT liberal at all. Blair is just like Bush. Chirac is a corrupt rightwinger himself, who was simply seen as the only thinkable alternative to the overt fascist Le Pen. In Germany, the ruling SPD-Green coalition has embraced the SAME strategy as US Republicans: slashing social spending, building up the military, & giving away the store to corporations.

I'd agree that we are MORE conservative, but one is missing the big picture, if one fails to recognize that all big capitalist countries are basically following the same trajectory. (This also includes Australia.)
