How will the National Socialist Left’s excuse the failure of socialism in Greece?

[Voice of Reason1]

Anyone have any ideas on how our socialist comrades on the nation's Left will try to BS their way out of yet another failure of their base and evil ideology

[Dutchboy88]

Bush’s fault

[Voice of Reason1]

Yes, we know them ALL too well.

[Husker24]

They failed because they weren’t socialist enough!

[martinidon]

The same way the dems and liberals explain it here; The Rich are not paying their fair share...

[Logical me]

Yeah, not a damn word from them. They don't give a damn what you conservatives think. Their rulers will hurt their people but their corrupt government will survive just fine.

“They failed because they weren’t socialist enough!”

And it's the US’ fault, so we have to send Greece gobs of money to bail them out.

[BitWielder1]

Germany's fault.
The economic powerhouse got greedy and no longer wanted to share their endless wealth with the poor Greeks for nothing in return. Bastards! /s

[thorvaldr]

Or call somebody a racist.

[Paladin2]

The fault of the Bankers and those busy Germans.

This is the option I’m betting on. But, by “the US’ fault” you mean Bush’s fault. And if we don’t send them gobs of money, we’re racist.

Congratulations, you properly classified National Socialism as Leftist.

I suspect they will lie, disinform and censor.

I can remember commenting about this on Facebook a day or so ago and sure enough there was some friendly neighbourhood socialist who dropped by and lectured to me about blaming the bankers and saying that if the bankers had their way, we’d be living in slavery. He also lectured about how socialism was alive and well all over the world and that if it was such a failure, how come the United States is the only country without single payer healthcare. He even carried on about the market economy being to blame for the 1930s Depression which apparently caused more hardship than socialism ever did.

After a while, you know it’s just pointless to talk to these people who are so completely full of themselves and that they only want to see what they choose to see.

[discostu]

Well loan repayment is clearly capitalist tyranny, so not paying those back is no failure at all.

[Junk Silver]

None of this would be a problem if the rich would just pay their FAIR SHARE™.

It’s those one-percenters I tell you!

[dead]

They failed because Koch brothers and Faux News.

[DoughtyOne]

Just like they always have and always will.

“It’s a better more fair system that’s never been given a good chance before.”

And saps will fall for it like all the others who did.

[RossA]

Plzzz...true socialism has never been tried. One of these millenia, they’ll figure it out.

[hosepipe]

It’s almost prophetic Greece shines as Socialism’s worse mistake.. (currently)
Since democracy CAUSES socialism.. it’s the political disease
that causes Socialism..

Actually Russia and China are the worse mistakes..
but then they both have turned to Fascism like AMERICA..

Pity that Fascism and Communism are BOTH SOCIALIST...
Mob Rule(democracy) has it’s inherent problems..

The Rubes chew grass(or smoke it) like the Sheep they are..
Bleating for “fairness”.. but it’s always somebody ELSE that needs to be fair to them..
They don’t have a fair bone in their cadaver..

[SunkenCiv]

Simple -- like some of their like-minded on FR claim, it is actually someone else's fault.
