Multiculturalism fails in Europe as public mood shifts hard right; Tough times cause similar ripples

in Canadian discourse on immigration

Multiculturalism has "utterly failed." That stark assessment was not voiced by some disgruntled opponent of Canada's own efforts to promote multiculturalism as an intrinsic ingredient in this country's immigration policy. It was expressed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel speaking a few days ago at a youth wing meeting of her Christian Democratic Party.

Her blunt remarks came on the heels of a think-tank's survey which reported that 30 per cent of Germans felt their country was "overrun by foreigners," who had come to Germany primarily for its social benefits rather than with a desire to integrate into German society. (Thirteen per cent also said they would welcome a "Fuhrer" to run the country.)

Cynics would say the explanation for the different approaches taken by the Europeans and Canada toward immigrants was straightforward: The Europeans didn't want them to stay. Canada did.

Because many European governments didn't initially regard foreign workers and their families as potential citizens, they weren't overly concerned about either their lack of integration into society or, in some countries like Germany, the requirement to grant them citizenship.

3. Socialism is hard work, but worth it. Fear and tribalism are so much easier,

but what a drag.

4. Wow, 13% would like a fuhrer

Watch out when Europe goes right, it's gonna go all out. There are some politicians over there that would make politicians like Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin, and John Boehner look like far left liberals.

Millions of workers in the streets of France, Spain, Greece, Portugal and elsewhere belie that.

7. Huh?

CGT is fascist?




KKE is fascist?



There will always be shitheads, but until they can turn out people like these commie unions can I'll worry more about the ruling class. The fascist can't do shit without state power, that is what we need be alert to. And as you know, commies ain't afraid of fascists...
