Last European Socialists…

For some good news,  it appears that Moldova’s pro-Western opposition parties have unseated Europe’s last ruling Communist Party.    The repeat parliamentary elections had been widely seen as a  test of whether the impoverished former Soviet republic aligns with the European Union or Moscow.

Of course, there are still Communists around,  as in  Belarus,  and there are plenty of tyrants with the wrong “ism” tendencies.
