This is a simple little thing. The German people can make anything work. Be it economical, political or commercial. They can make it work. Maybe not well, but it still works doesn't it? Evidence lies in thier history.
After WWII Germany was divided into (wild guesses here) East and West Germany. West Germany became a democracy and general "Front Line" of the Cold War. Meanwhile East Germany was sucked up by the Commusist Bloc and the Warsaw Pact.
Now, what the crap does this have to do with anything? Well I'll tell you, you impatiant Evan. East Germany became a top-contender on the list of industrilized nations even though they were Communist. While other Communist nations (Hungary, Poland, Romania, USSR) were in an economic slump East Germany was riding fairly well along with Czechoslovakia.
Now we all know that communism doesn't. Its a flawed system. But the Germans made it. Which goes back to my earlier statement. The Germans lost not one, but two WORLD wars. Not civil, not national, not rap but WORLD. Meaning the whole world was invovled. Today a united Germany is a strong industrialized nation with strong demoractic politics. So you see even a backwards useless form of government can work if the Germans put their minds to it. They've already had three successful (to a degree) forms of government. Monarchy, Republic, Facist, Communist and now Democratic. There are only so many government forms that they havent had. Proving that they can make it work.
So there you go, my chicadees, though I may be wrong its still my thing so go eat some yogurt and be pleased. Thank you and thats all folks (Cue Looney Tunes Theme)
