"The economic situation is worsening from month to month, and unemployment has reached a level that puts democratic structures ever more in doubt."

"The Germans have not yet realised that southern Europe, including France, will be forced by their current misery to fight back against German hegemony sooner or later."

I must admit that I've been for greater integration in the EU, but after hearing how Die Linke's Oskar Lafontaine gave well-spoken credibility to the democratic deficit problem, I'll also admit I'm tempted to support his newfound position.

We may want to take an abstentionist position on this one since we know that a real revolutionary upsurge would provide an adequate social basis for humane economic-material flows for society.

How the bourgeoisie's own currency affects working class life is not of *our* doing, so it's basically a non-issue to even try to comment on it.
