I dont agree with you. The main influx of foreigners in Western Europa these days are now from Russia, Oekraine and the former states within the USSR, Roemenia, the former Yougoslavia, Albanie, and so on.

You blame Western europe for the bad ecomic situation in the former states under influence of communism too or for colonial behaviour in these states ?





Jede, the problem with immigration might be from these eastern european countries, but you'll never hear about it, if there are a few people of color there, they will say that its those people that are messing up everything. i blame the west for both, communism wasn't a virus that had to be destroyed or humanity was be destroyed but the west sure acted like it, they have a hand in the way those countries are too. look at the history, if the west doesn't like something, its only option is to destroy it and then say "oh, look how bad this is, didn't we say it was bad"

Kassma,

I think you really have a problem with west-european countries. You blame those countries for just everything if I follow your postings on this bantaba.

From colonialism to introducing HIV, from economic disasters to social systems. From fair voting systems to dictatorship.

The west is as bad as can be, and Africa is heaven with only angels (just an expression because I'm atheist). Everything which is good is due to African behaviour, religion and mentality, and everything which is a problem now in the world is due to western europe.

And probably you don't hear in the Gambia about the eastern european migrants in Western Europe, but the problem is there. And I can assure you that they cause really problems (I risk now to generalise but..) women traffic, drug traffic, human traffics, heavy criminality... Gangs, I assure you its really heavy stuff.

And if you talk about communism, don't tell me that's a good society model. It is against nature of mankind and can't survive on the long term. It has however its benefits like any system. Even dictatorship has its benefits, if you have a good dictator or if you are the dictator LOL

Well Kasma,

Every country has several reasons to complain.

Belgium was in his history ruled by almost every country in Europe and was the battle field for almost every war in Europe.

It started with the romans, after that came the Vikings, Spane, Austria (habsburgers), France, the Netherlands, and in our recent history Germany 2 times. They all robbed Belgium at that time.

Belgium as it exists now is a compromise between the big nations in 1830 : England, France, Germany and Russia and as a result of that Belgium exists in fact of 2 different populations : a french speaking part and a flemish speaking part. It was England who presented us the first king, Leopold I (a german with tied family branches in england..), not because of his qualities but with the only purpose to stabilisize Europe at that time and to reduce the influence of France.

In the history of every country there are opportunities to get forward, to improve. But you have to grab them. (don't take this personnaly)

ci jamaa.

Jede, I am not a Communist, as I think for complex society systems the 'classical' Marxist-Leninist model (not to mention the Stalinist model...) is not appropriate.

But to say that Communism is 'unnatural' is nonsense. Every human society in its beginning is 'communist'. Sharing is a human basic, while money grubbing is the result of a certain ideology and certain societal factors which I would call 'differenciated', but not 'developed'.

I think there is a nature urge to want to improve and better oneself in life. Sharing is for survival, but you want your family to have the nicest compound or the best dresses?

In communist china for many years everyone wore the same uniform. Individulaity was supressed. Intellectualism was undervalued and so on.

I think a combination of the best of both models works best. Freedom, democracy with social support of those that cant make it for themselves.
