ahh the good ol' left-socialists....didnt they used to go by another name?
Yes first they were called SED and killed people that wanted to leavbe east Germany....then they called themselves PDS and actually entered Parlament...last election everyone was happy that they got below 5% and therefpre weren't part of the parlament anymore (my liberal heart told me this rule is unfair and all but my strong Capitalist views saw over that and were happy that the commies were gone) ........now the Previous Leader of the Social Democrat Party made his own party called WASG (Election Alternative Social Justice) and merged it with the PDS ....they changed their name to "The Left.PDS" and got 9% .....a sad thing indeed.....
Funny though the Leader of that party made a bet in Public with his opponent from teh Green Party saying "The Winner gets a Boc of Champagne" ..... way to go for a communist....the opponent said "In the Social Circles you like to be seen with, one bets for beer...not champagne" .....I'd like to add the great Pulp Hit Cocaine Socialis here:
"I thought that you were joking / When you said 'I want to see you
To discuss your contribution / To the future of our nation's heart and soul
Six o'clock, my place, Whitehall' / Well I arrived just after seven
But you said 'It doesn't matter/ / 'I understand your situation
And your image, and I'm flattered / Oh and I'd just like to tell you
That I love all of your albums / Could you sign this for my daughter?
She's in hospital, her name is Miriam / Now get down to the gist:
Do you want a line of this? / Are you a (sniff) / socialist?'
'Doin' fine, yeah! / Buzzin' all the time / Just one hit / And I feel great
And I support / The welfare state / Oh, you must be socialist
'Cos you're always off out on the piss / In your private member's bar
Oh yes you are / Yer superstar / Well you sing about common people
And the mis-shapes and the misfits / So can you bring them to my party
And get them all to sniff this? / And all I'm really saying
Is come on and rock the vote for me / All I'm really saying
Is come on roll up that note for me / The gist of all of this is
Do you want hits or d'you want misses? / Are you a socialist, yeah
Socialist, yeah / Socialist, yeah / Oh yeah'
'Yeah, you can be just what you want to be
Just as long as you don't try to compete with me
And we've waited such a long time
For the chance to help our own kind, so now
Please come on and tow the party line / Oh you owe it to yourself
Don't think of anybody else / And we promise we won't tell
Oh we won't tell, and we won't sell' / No we won't / No we won't
No we won't"
