Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Living In Spain and Social-Democracy

Why Trickle-Down Economics Works in Theory But Not in Fact

Once you accept that excessive inequality is a bad thing you're arguing about the details of how you deal with that. The current argument almost everywhere is whether people having to depend on the charity of food banks is a good thing or not.

La rosa se marchita: el declive de la socialdemocracia europea


London Homeless

Walking across the Thames bridge from Isle of Dogs into the beating heart of Financials & Banking district Canary Wharf. A walk of shame stepping across beggars and homeless citizens. The capitalist "ideals" sink into a heavy heart.

San Francisco Homeless

Helsinki Homeless

Once again, this is a good thread about homelessness in Europe, but the title has very little to do with the content. (Spain? Not mentioned in the text)

Think before you post? (or re-read, at least)

Sorry ... not meant for lurkers ...

In opening ...

[Read the full conversation on Twitter]

It is about a Spaniard dreaming of Trump's America, capitalism, leaving no one behind. A bit about the fabric of society and how inequality screws everyone ... except the top 0.1 or 1.0 % ... Reaganomics and the scourge of Thatcherism and Tory conservatism.

A main link also in the opening ... how is your Spanish?

I also made reference to the lack of leadership across Europe and as consequence trust in government has eroded ... created opening for conspiracies and today's near majority of rightwing populism. Thumbs up down to former Soviet bloc states. 👎🏼

Torches and Pitchforks Again?

I couldn't find the link to the Spanish version of the pitchfork rebellion.

"not meant for lurkers"... are they meant only for yourself?

You shouldn't be posting diaries which are not meant to be comprehensible. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but frankly it looks lazy and self-indulgent. Hardly surprising if there is so little interaction with your diaries : they seem designed to discourage participation.
