<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11825643> [WS:] It seems that which party is in power makes little difference as far as austerity measures are concerned. Socialists may be more reluctant about them but they will comply nonetheless when the capital demands them. So how realistic is it to bash Democrats, who are not socialists, not even close, for yielding to the demands of capitalists?

PS. I am flying to Lisbon today evening - provided of course that they do not cancel my flight. But hey, it is a small price to pay in the struggle against capital, even if "our side" seems to be losing battle after battle
