Strike The Root: With Socialists Like These...

With Socialists Like These...

The Socialist Party that just won the elections in Spain, in addition to rejecting global interventionism, also appears to have rejected its own discredited economic doctrines.

Here's Chris Suellentrop at Slate:

"If the old libel against American liberals is that they're socialists, the new European libel against socialists is that they're liberals—classical ones. Here are some of the economic promises on which Zapatero's Socialist Workers Party campaigned: lowering the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 30 percent, cutting income taxes, and reducing the value-added tax. Oh, and they're going to balance the budget and control inflation. The man expected to be the Socialist finance minister, Miguel Sebastian, is a U.S.-educated economist with a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota. He's promising to put his faith in the Invisible Hand. 'There will be a strict separation between politics and business,' he told the Financial Times. 'We will be a market-friendly government.' These are socialists?"

So, let me get this straight, these "socialists" are anti-interventionist in both foreign and economic policy? If that's socialism, then I say ¡Viva el socialismo!

Maybe Spanish socialists are closer to the libertarian socialist idea rather than the typical authoritarian (i.e., statist) socialists. Anarchism has a long history in Spain; perhaps these socialists descend from one of the old anarchist parties of the 1930s, such as the CNT, rather than the communist parties.

That's truth, the spanish socialist worker party do not descent from a comunist party, is the comunist party the one that descens from the socialist party.

In 1917, the socialist party (the same socialist party as todays), did not supported the russian revolution because the lack of freedom of that regime. A small part of that socialist party that was for the russian revolution created the spanish comunist party, but they had not representation al the spanish house of deputies till 1936, one she-deputy Dolores Ibarruri. Nowadays the inheriters of the comunist party in Spain is an electoral coalition calle "izquierda unida" that has no more than 5 deputies over 350.

The European socialist tradition, is much more older than teh comunism. The origins are in the frech utopic-socialist of the XVIII century, filisophers like Immanuel Kant, Descartes, etc, the french revolution, the liberal revolutions of XIX c. Europe, and the humanistic ideas of some part of the catholic church.
