Which democratic successful socialist country has the most diverse population?

I was thinking about the EU, with very successful socialist countries and they all share very similar social views. But then if you actually group those countries with the other countries in the EU, the social dynamic changes. Example: Greece being bankrupt and the rest of the union having to float their economy.

These successful EU countries cannot force Greece to adopt their economic policy, yet they are basically the welfare groups for that union.

Great Britain has lots of socialist policies. They're probably the closest one.

No I did not. But I would blame the hell out of the President and his policies and not because he is Black, because he is very anti business
and fails to protect the American worker from a flood of immigrants. Well I don't think that has anything to do with him being Black perhaps
it was his white half that did it, she didn't seem to be too bright.

You say some silly shit sometimes. His mother used to wake him up at 4:30 in the morning to study. She raised a man and gave him the work ethic to become president. In my book that's pretty fucking awesome. Your disrespect to her it's pretty appalling. Black half and white half? That's the dumbest shit you've ever posted. Anti business?? Obama is a bigger corporatist than Bill Clinton. How can you be anti business when you allow banks to privatize their gains and socialize the losses with bailouts? The market is trading at record levels that you've never ever even seen and somehow Obama is anti business? Why because he thinks you should play football with facemask rules and offsides penalties?

I have to laugh at your posts to keep from crying about them. You seem to deny that racism and white privilege exists since we have a black president.

And the police chief in Baltimore is black, too.

You mean something crazy and racist like posting pictures of the White House grounds growing watermelons? Nah, that would never happen.

With all the crazy white males that are running up on the White House, and spitting on black members of Congress, we may have had way more instances of that. That's the kind of crazy I'm talking about. I'm surprised Obama is still alive.

Verify what I write here. From memory. Here's his WikiPedia page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Washington



Washington was an alderman in Chicago. He ran for mayor in the Democratic Party primaries against two white candidates, Richie Daley Jr (son of the longtime party machine mayor) and Jayne Byrne. Both Daley and Byrne ended up being mayor at some point, but not this time. In the primaries, the vote was split almost evenly and Washington ended up the nominee with 33.4% of the vote (or whatever, it was really close, a shade over 1/3).

In a city that hasn't elected a republican mayor in a century, and where democratic party mayors get elected with 70% of the vote or more, Washington won a squeaker of an election against a cannon fodder republican candidate, Bernard Epton.

Epton received 80%+ of the white vote. Washington a shade over 50% overall.

This is a liberal democratic party machine city in the 1980s (and still).

Who's really on the side of black people?

When you saw Washington on stage on TV, you saw the faces of black people who made up his administration on the stage behind him. More power to him.

My only gripe with the guy was that in his haste to give govt. contracts to black construction firms, he began construction on all the major expressways at the same time, causing traffic nightmares.

We need more men like him. May he rest in peace.

If you let Bernie Sanders decide who gets to spend money on political speech, only democratic socialists will get to spend money on political speech.

How would you like it if during W's administration they cracked down on free speech for people that talked out against the war or W or Cheney or anything related?

Is that really what you want?

What the fuck is this shit? And didn't they do that very thing with the patriot act?

Who likes the patriot act? People who work for government. Or want more government.

No, the W administration did not hassle people who protested their activities.
 
Interesting, who voted against the patriot act?

That makes Baltimore the Police Chief's problem (and mayor, too).

That's what MarAzul says.

And their DA, and Congressman. I suppose it is white privilege not to build a business there. I do wonder who the hell will though now that they have completely shunned the rule of law. Intimidated and shackled their police force, just about no law at all. Murders have tripled?!? Even Obama can't get and investor to risk starting a business to put all those dudes to work. The memory of the businesses burning will last, so will the vision of the police watching as they are torched. You need to let them demonstrate, you know.

Holy Crap! You grab onto any bull shit talking point that will give you a chance to whine! It is amazing to me watch someone actually do it.
However, I will admit that I am proud of my walk that I had the privilege to make. And I do know a couple Black guys that feel the same way having walked about the same track.
 
Bernie Sanders also. Weird how you missed that.

Perhaps you are speaking of Grandmother. Mama allow herself to get knocked up by a Black guy strolling through the country. He was gone before he even change a dipper for little Barry. Not so smart.

Ron Paul. Rand Paul, too.

Russ Feingold was the only senator to vote against it.

What these guys need to remember is, none of the Oregon Democrats voted against the Patriot Act or it's renewal.

Many in the EU are turning their back on Greece and refuse to bail them out. So the concept of socialism would, should include the failing countries in that union. They are the true welfare of socialism and socialism failed them.

Greece's problem is that it's too conservative. It lets the rich cheat on their taxes, so it has no money. Look up Greek lackadaisical tax collection.

He beat Richard Daley's Chicago machine, then died of a "heart attack." Then the machine returned to power.

No Oregon Republicans did, either. As for the present, Republican Paul and Oregon's Democrat Wyden are the 2 main Senate stalwarts opposing the NSA.
 
Re-elect Wyden if you dislike the NSA spying on you. Beneath leaders Paul and Wyden in the next echelon, the remaining anti-NSA senators are only a handful. Bernie Sanders is one.

Typical. And you don't know anything about what white privilege means if you think what you just posted.

I stopped voting for Wyden. He voted for the disaster that is Medicare part D.
