3. autocratic shithole, but their Sup Forums posters are nice and cool
4. an absurd, invented state which is struggling to legitimise itself. all archaeological records are skewed to fit into the "jewish narrative". whenever some stone age settlement is surveyed, it's referred to as belonging to "ancient jews", etc. literal wewuzzers, and they use it to legitimise the displacement of the real inhabitants of the land.
5. imperialistic shithole. finally losing it's relevance thanks to the Donald. I'm also extremely thankful to Trump for fucking over TTIP, since it would have governed American businesses at the expense of European welfare states.
6. not much.
7. it's not as bad as the memes say, but it's still going downhill. the privatisation of public institutions is going fast, and it's having catastrophical consequenses. first the private sector is allowed to take on some responsibilities originally associated with the public sector. then the liberals force "handicaps" on the public sector counterparts so they won't outrival the private sector counterparts. when the public welfare state crumbles as a result, liberals use that as an argument that we should abolish the welfare state altogether. its insane.

>liberals use that as an argument that we should abolish the welfare state altogether

What did you mean by this?

the neo-liberal project to dismantle the welfare state and replace its institutions with private actors is well known. what is there to explain about it?

So who's in favor of the welfare state then?

>I love slanted eyes
Do they all or most of them have slanted eyes? Damn, no wonder i love Canada.

it's sadly not discussed at all. the political left is focusing on identity politics (for the rich), so most issues relating to the future of the welfare state have gone completely under the radar.

we have reached the level where people who argue for privatisation use pseudophilosophical leftist platitudes like "diversity" and "change" in their argumentation. 99% of the political left buys it without a second thought.

and of course, the far right never gave a shit about it, either. they sometimes use the welfare state as a concept in their rhetorics, but they seldomly use it on a Realpolitik level.

Can a welfare state even work in a country that isn't also strongly Nationalist?

Seems like a privatization might be more appropriate for your changing demographic climate.

maybe.

the welfare states were always firmly based in nationalism. in a way, they aimed to replace the class solidarity of the early 20th century left with nationalism, since this allowed their ruling class to keep their privileges.

in any case, it's pretty clear that all forms of class solidarity are dead today. instead we have identity politics on the "left" and nationalism on the right, and the two of them are really two sides of the same coin.

the bottom line is that no one really cares about the future of the welfare state, or the privatisation of its public institutions. the most terrifying thing about it is that we're not even becoming America. rather, we're becoming Asia.

>the bottom line is that no one really cares about the future of the welfare state, or the privatisation of its public institutions
I don't really see why you're so concerned with it or think that a welfare state is a good thing.

Privatization is usually a good thing because the free market can often provide these services in a much more efficiently than the Government.

the current results in Sweden show the contrary. and like I said, the victories of the private sector are largely the result of handicaps forced on the public sector.

sorry about the off topic rambling, by the way.

2-I think all options with regards to Ukraine are acceptable, fully independent, fully part of Russia, or Independent but without Crimea and the Easternmost regions. But that should have been done back in 1991, not now. Once the mistake was done, the frontiers of Independent Ukraine should have been respected.
3-Russians have never lived in a democracy, going from Monarchy with serfdom till the late 1800, to Communist dictatorship, to Putin. They have everything to be a wealthy first world country with a western european standard of life, but they comform themselves with little. They had it so bad in the 90s that they are very grateful to Putin and dont ask for more.
4-A mistake, but it is too late to expulse them. Ideally it should have been created in German land, like former East Prussia where Koenigsberg used to be. Now it should be recognized and respected. It may still disappear if there is a 1 State solution and muslims become a majority.
5-Dont hate them but would never live there, I dislike political system, political parties, urbanism, school culture, among many other things but if they like all that fine for them. This century wont be kind to them.
6-The same as the USA except French Canada. I have 5 Joni Mitchell albums.
7-Argentina was the last white country to be born and the first one to die, whites were the majority only for a 50-70 years.
You cant create a European country on top of a Latin American one, eventually you end up reabsorbed by latin america due to the higher birth rates of the nonwhites, and immigration from your neighbours.
Our welfare state has crushed the work ethic of our underclass so badly that we actually prefer latin american immigrants to poor argentines.
