Why not eat children?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Schröder's reforms are a delusionary reversal of the relation between economy and society. Justice and democracy are sacrificed on the altar of a mythical market presented, like the gods of an ancient religion, as a force outside society instead of a creation of it. They are a political choice dressed up as a market necessity.

Of course, some social options are not available under any economic system. It would be utopian to raise hopes of what simply cannot be. But Germany's choices are not of this type. All periods of high German economic growth coincided with large-scale social provision. Indeed, growth under the welfare state, at 240% from 1950-1970, has never been equalled. Another Germany is entirely possible, under three conditions. Society must get what it genuinely wants; economic policy must deliver this; and political alliances must carry these policies out.

neo-liberal reforms have destroyed many countries already...
argentina was one recent example.

If poverty-racked Venezuela can apply a different economic model right next door to the centre of US military operations in the continent - in Colombia - then so can wealthy Germany, Europe and Japan, and so, for that matter, can the US
