Entry: Is Europe Waking Up? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/europes_suicide_the_turning_point#3834 Post contents: Lester: "I blame theiropen borders immigration policy and massive welfarestate alot more than any of this crusades type rhetoric" Open borders immigration policy is really "libertarianism" in action. "Free trade". As for the so-called "welfare state", what Republicans laughing call "free trade" in the United States is actually welfare for the rich. In the case of unrestrained immigration, it's not true that the USA has "freedom" of labor movement. What we have is actually protected labor markets for highly educated professionals like Lawyers, Doctors, College " Professors and so on, and subsidized labor subsitution for blue collar, low wage workers. As we've already pointed out, there is no such thing as "free trade", it's a utopian fantasy. When someone talks about "free trade" including free trade in labor, the reality is that it's really not free at all, it's all about protecting the rich at the expense of the middle class. Libertarianism is a fantasy, a dangerous utopianism of the Right, and the enemy of prosperity and good order. Sent at: 2008 05 16
