Perceptive.
In the '80s Condo Rice advised Reagan about USSR. She said they were a basket case held up only by the hard dollars they got by selling oil (remember oil price under Carter). Reagan brought oil down to a about $10 - $12 USSR collapsed.
EUrosocialists will suffer under the EUro (stealth capitalist currency) and cheap buck (their exports suffer, US exports boom). Same can be said of Canasocialists.
