 ireland.com - The Irish Times - OPINION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Fintan O'Toole's recent article, "The last gasp of social democracy", is a typical piece of self-criticism from an undoubted member of the family of the left.
Fintan's assertion that "the great paradox of European politics at the moment is that socialists can have power so long as they give up what used to be called socialism" is in my view an unfair judgement on the state of European social democracy.
Fintan O'Toole is right also in saying that the battle between ideals and pragmatism is more pronounced on the left than in any other political movement.
