Karl Marx bank cards prove hit in eastern Germany
Two decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall, some eastern Germans are once again carrying round images of Karl Marx - if only in their pockets.
The disappearance of communist former East Germany has not deterred them from using credit cards emblazoned with the image of the man who foretold the end of capitalism and the triumph of communism.
More than a third of customers at Sparkasse bank in Chemnitz opted for the picture of a bronze bust of the bearded 19th century German-born philosopher, bank spokesman Roger Wirtz said.
A bit more:
A 2008 survey found 52 percent of eastern Germans believed the free market economy was "unsuitable" and 43 percent said they wanted socialism back.
Disgusting -- I wonder what kind of hell-hole their schools are like, what they are teaching their children.
Now if they offered cards with
F.A. Hayek or
Milton Friedman or
Henry Hazlitt, I would sign right up...
