EUROPE and responsible authority

There are manifestations of anarchy in the US and Europe. In the US a response has been the rise of the Neo-Cons, in Europe there is a certain nostalgia for the authoritarian past. We post this message from Christopher Jones, without of course endorsing it: "Is not authority also a manifestation of responsibility? Day by day, relentlessly, youngsters in Germany are kidnapped and killed by sexual perverts. Last week two small kids, playing in a forest were kidnapped. The boy was strangled and the girl sexually abused and later murdered after days of torture. Just yesterday, the country commemorated the anniversary of the massacre at the Erfurt gynasium, where a student went amok. But after a few years, guess what! The Greens (like Claudia Roth), the SPD and the rest of their cohorts release these killers back onto German streets. Just last month, a sex-killer was released after several years rehabilitation in a psychological/prison establishment and promptly killed a child in 24 hours.

Sincerely I do not believe that capitalism has the answer for this problem -- only a responsible authoritarian, yes like Benito Mussolini in his early days, could impose a responsible solution to safeguard our children, society and ultimately civilization against killers and complete moral decomposition! But the capitalists will say,"oh they don't have to watch that violent movie," or "don't buy that video game." And in fact, all the capitalists have is the bottom line in their eyes, not the future of the nation! And the communists or the looters (they are the same!)? They went on the streets of Rome to protest Berlusconi's scrapping of labor laws that protected the working class against American style hire and fire etc. They called Berlsuconi a "Fascista!" But who wrote those very laws that Berlusconi was throwing in the garbage? Laws that protected the families of millions of Italians? Benito Mussolini".
