Hummm! duno!? Perhaps it's a latent topic thats's always on peoples mind. Perhaps because were loosing it?
Bah! Politics, I think the last time (democracy) politics ever worked was in the Helenistc period in ancient Greece. Actually a very interesting period in political history was the Spanish Civil war 1934 - 39. Barcelona was the center of Facsist resistance, the problem however was that everyone was there, the Anarchists, International Brigade, Liberal parties, communist parties of all sorts. So they started to fight amongst each other when they should have been resisting the Nazi's and Facsists. That's what defeated them, petty infighting and the fact that they called the "Guardia Civil" to sort the problem out who promtly handed then over to Franco. I never understood how they could have made such a huge miss-judgement of character.
