"Our last hope"

I just saw a campaign ad for the nazis. It featured an eagle (they're brown here), a catchy Wagner tune, xenophobia and violence. It was preceded by a disclaimer from the network (like any campaign ad), and followed by identification of the party. One gets the feeling that you can always count on having the choice between fascists and communists here...until one or the other gets the upper hand, of course. Then you have the leader of the country warning people not to choose the option of a nation full of 'elbowing' where 'people don't stick together'...I'm sorry, I come from a country that's world famous for its greed--it doesn't mean people can't stick together (they also have the ability to move out of each other's way when they pass on the sidewalk...an attribute I like to call "sozial"...and the concept of standing in line and waiting your turn actually exists). Stick together like what? A lead fishing weight? Unemployment ranges from 12 to 20% here, depending on which part of the country you're in.
