Salvete!
Ah! Politics! Great! Most of you already know that this is my 'dada'.
I'm a socialist. So I would like to surpress any right-wing parties
. But I'm a democrat, so I allow them to cry out their stupidities...
All right, before I offend someone, this is not meant litteraly, but I frustrate me everyday in populistic extremely right oneliners. The flemish (ooops... I almost wrote 'belgian') nationalistic extremely right party has slogans such as "own people first!" and "time for cleaning-up". I cannot uncerstand that anyone, and I litteraly mean anyone, supports these people. They say that fundamentally people are not equal, and thus some are 'less' than others.
In this time, as the US showed us, it is important to evolve to a unified and strong Europe. While our right-wing 'friends' are trying to recreate borders and landmarks, backing up into their own country/region/city/village (almost as the anarchists, one of their arch-enemies, want).
I must say that left is not morally conservative, the Belgian government legalized homo-marriage, secularisates, talks about soft-drugs (what has been forbidden in the past 40 years, when the right-wing ruled) and doesn't cut in social security.
Etnic self-determination does not exist. Before something like that would come to pass you first would have to determinate what etnics rule. My neighbour has brown hair, is he of the same 'race' or not. My friends grandfather was an italian, does he belong to us? Or is he 'less'?
As our population is getting older and birth-rates are lowering, we will need (non-european) immigrants to keep our seniors alive... Or we just will have to scrap all pensions. The easy way out.
Vale,
