Anti-austerity anger sweeps from Greece to Spain as hundreds of thousands march through Madrid in support of fledgling radical leftist party
The streets of Madrid were today filled with activists supporting Spain's fledgling anti-establishment party Podemos
Supporters from across Spain gathered as they hoped to emulate the success of Greece's radical Syriza party
Polls show Podemos, which was formed last year, is in the lead to win Spain's general election later this year
It could shatter Spain's two-party system in what would be the country's largest political shake up since 1978

So Greece just elected marxists and now Spain is trying to do the same. They'll default on their imf loans and the eu may dissolve before our eyes.
As to socialism it's hard to say anything more poignant than the following;
"MOSCOW (SR) – Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has warned the Obama administration against adopting further socialism, saying Russian history clearly proves it is a recipe for failure.
“Any fourth grade history student knows socialism has failed in every country, at every time in history,” said Putin. “President Obama and his fellow Democrats are either idiots or deliberately trying to destroy their own economy.”
Economists say Putin’s comments serve to illustrate how worldwide markets have made even economic adversaries dependent on each other’s financial stability.
An Obama spokesman dismissed Putin’s claim, saying, “We’re going to do socialism better.”"
