Kremlin/Kretin Whatever
Your arguements are quite confused. Allow me to assist.
As a capitalist, I oppose a taxpayer funded bailout of any institution. Those who live by the sword must also die by the sword. This is, in my consistent opinion, why Alitalia is a waste of space and should have wiped itself and its shareholders out long ago. But, of course, Uncle Sylvio and the boys saw a way to further abuse the ignorant masses on the farm and make some money for themselve using the smokescreen of Nationalism. This is not socialism. It's also not capitalism except in the Italian version thereof.
Conversely, as a communist you should be pushing for the nationalisation of the banking system (And everything else come to think of it) so that the Government/Banks can then channel funding to the oppressed masses to be used to subsidise housing etc. so that we are all equal and to support their class struggle against the evil capitalists? (Unquote?)
All animals are equal on the farm, right?
This is not capitalism's finest hour but we should retain intellectual integrity in debate. This too shall pass and it is highly unlikely that the now demonstrably discredited model you still seem to support will ever again be adopted by the majority.
