In Germany, they sometimes don’t even pretend - they call it a ‘Grand Coalition’. They openly ran Germany 1928 - 1930 (the reaction of the voters was to turn to the Nazis as the only viable alternative).
The curtains came off again in 1966-69, 2005-2009, and 2013-present when the SPD and CDU joined up to maintain power against the people (they normally just swap out the top job). The CSU is just a puppet of the CDU, and their leaders get to tag along when the CDU has a turn.
good analysis, the point is that socialists get themselves elected into office and then squeeze the opposition out of governing, like what is happening in California. Hitler patiently waited out each election till he won. pretty simple.
There is one very odd thing ive noticed: The Communist Manifesto is completely unreadable. Millions of people around the world are enslaved to a philosophy which is unintelligible. has anyone here tried to read that screed? am i alone? am i alone in the whole world who thinks it was written by a grammatical madman?
