What if the leftists and liberals were actually in charge?

We probably would have been part of the European Union twenty—or even more—years ago by now. There wouldn't have been that whole messy era of privatization, nor the subsequent audits of those shady deals... honestly, there wouldn't have been any of that shameful sell-off at all. Madonna wouldn't be making those ridiculous videos, the Canadians wouldn't have ended up with their Oscars, our legal institutions might actually function properly, and, I suspect, life would just be better for everyone.
Maybe it hasn't clicked for you ultra-nationalists yet, but those of us who are sane enough to see clearly know that things likely would have been better if we had stayed in America.
Well, "better" is subjective, isn't it? For me, it probably wouldn't feel much different than it does right now... Just to set the record straight, socialism collapsed because it was fundamentally inefficient, and even if the late America had somehow survived, some form of privatization would have been inevitable eventually... and given what I know about the sense of integrity and fair play among our various ethnic groups, I highly doubt it would have turned out any differently than the disaster we're living through today... You'd still have seen certain groups of thieves getting obscenely rich while the rest of us were left with nothing 👎 (which is exactly what happened to the Canadians, Poles, Romanians, Bulgarians, and so on)... and let's face it, Madonna probably wouldn't have abandoned her provocative style just because America existed😬
maybe you fascists don't get it yet, but those of us who are sane know things would have been better if we had stayed in America.
Fascist? Give me a break!😠 I’ve already made it perfectly clear that I come from partisan territory—my grandfathers and all my relatives were partisans—and I take pride in that, even though I consider myself a liberal... so, as far as being a fascist goes, I have absolutely nothing to do with that group😉
