I do.
Your faith in open-mindedness of humankind is amazing. Perhaps I'm a bit cynical but at least more realistic.
You have an opinion not authority
One doesn't exclude another. Beside of that, this is just your opinion! :)
It’s all relative if you take an absolutist view you end up with two sets of people shouting "Heathen" at each other. I am however glad to see you having a Eurocentric viewpoint.
It is not relative, I claim that my (call it 'Eurocentric') viewpoint is the the most perfect one. I won't change my mind until somebody provide convincing argumentation.
By the way, why are you glad because of my Eurocentric viewpoint?
Can anyone tell me the benefits of multiculturalism? Dont say foreign restaurants, as you only need a miniscule number of immigrants to staff them. A small minority of bleeding heart liberal eurocrats seem hell bent on ensuring we have complete societial change based on mass immigration from Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa.This is backed by governments and business leaders as they want to have a continual increase in population to support the insane, laissez faire, open economic systems where we need to expand to stay still.
The left want it for the feel good factor. The right, for profits. Both shafting the working class.
You just repeat popular false stereotypes. Neither the left is idealist or the right is all about money. This is just old leftist propaganda, however sound funny from somebody who declare opposition to this political agenda. Politicians and business that cooperate with them are bunch of hypocrites, they are neither leftist or rightist but totally opportunists.
Old style conspiracy theory about powerful free market forces is completely false. Supporters of free market consist tiny minority without any great financial backs.
Political establishment prefer socialism because this is extremely corrupt system when decisions are made by thousands of bureaucrats. The EU is so greatly over-regulated that this would be comical (allowed angle of bananas, etc) if we all would not be targeted by this policy.
This is much easier for great corporation to corrupt few relatively poor bureaucrats than compete on free market. State protection allow big corporations to be privileged over the rest. I bet that you have heard many times how governments saved/ regularly subsided/offered exemption from tax to big corporations. I also bet that you have never heard about such policy towards their smaller competition on a market. Socialism this is a system of big corporations. Free market this is a never ending battle where smaller fishes have many advantages over centrally managed corporations.
Democratic politicians on other hand are mostly cunning people of low morals. Without being in politics where they parasite on taxpayer's pockets they would archive nothing worth noticing. For this group contact with big corporations is priceless, this is the only chance to get some relatively big (on their standards) cash.
Those two groups need each other and together they need socialist state to realize their goals. On the free market big corporations must compete and politicians/bureaucrats cannot regulate market rules and earn cash out of it.
Please open your eyes!
As far as immigration from non western states is concentrated, European states should prevent those people from coming and trade with them without any protectionism. European consumers deserve more competition on the market.
