Follow this link to the story published in The Nation by Naomi Klein about what could happen if politicians do not work to solve the economic crisis.

Her story discusses some of the street level protests in Argentina, Iceland, Latvia, South Korea and Greece.  Some of these protests brought down governments.

I certainly hope that does not happen in this country or any other major democracy in the world.

One of my worst fears is that the current situation will give the principles of capitalism such a bad reputation that we could end up with the likes of communism again.
