The idea of socialism is so ingrained in Europe they even have a German word for it... "Mitbestimmung, or co-determination"

Toyota (and other Japanes companies) promise "jobs for life" and no lay-offs.

Korean auto unions are so militant they have held plant managers as hostages during strikes.

All of the above items are true, and easily verified.

Support capitalism and buy a UAW-made car.

I suppose you could ride a horse? What's an intellectually honest person supposed to do?!

The usual suspect haters wont't be worried about such high-minded concepts... They'll just keep chanting their slogans; "gubbermint motors, fiatchrysler", blah, blah.
