I would not even try to deal with the existing national schemes, just add a European choice of some kind & expect the preference for freedom of movement to decide how, where & ultimately if some such makes sense. I sure do believe that the respective preference is there: as the sum total of choices in good times - rather different business than a Law to be proclaimed... <br /><br />Just a thought <br />AVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09917186839183782032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-27215042393042231222016-08-23T00:46:39.916+03:002016-08-23T00:46:39.916+03:00Yes I do remember my Marxist HS philosophy class ...Yes I do remember my Marxist HS philosophy class in the late '70s: they taught us that communism requires that a new kind of man be created(man as species). As an impressionable kid, I really considered that the 'good virtuous' party chiefs were going to accomplish what Jesus called for, in the Sermon on the Mount. That is until I read Marx and in particular Lenin. Then, the farce became obvious. It is still obvious. Ah, this ever illusive shifting 'New Man' needed for the perfect society...

Europe's history is one of small states being subsumed and then the larger mass being broken up. Those in control of a larger mass can divide and rule and may never be brought to account. The likelihood is also that a left of centre European government will prevail and those in opposition will never be able to change the colour of the ruling government and then effectively democracy is removed from the population. <br /><br />Ideology's which prevail to the exclusion of all reasonable argument eventually fail but at what price and distress to a large proportion of the population in the meantime. Marx's ideas were idealistic and in many cases good but as we have seen, power corrupts. A combination of nations such as those in Europe cannot operate as a unified nation. There are too many cultural and social differences. <br /><br />The Euro is kept alive at considerable cost, laws are made without reference to the people and each country is being denied the opportunity to control their own future. You do not need a European defence force the you have NATO. You do not need a set of rules which says "one size fits all". The concept of open borders is admirable and yes i believe in freedom of movement but not without question. Freedom of movement to work yes but provided you have a job to go to, or at least until you find a job you are not entitled to any benefits and then if you fail to keep employed for a number of years benefits will be withdrawn. Benefits should also only be available for those physically resident. If I became unemployed in Romania I would receive very little and then for a limited period and social support such as that available in the UK is negligible.<br /><br />I like Eastern Europe and intend to stay but I ma under no allusion that there is any realistic welfare support or even medical compared to that I would enjoy in the UKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-13698480849085729882016-08-19T11:19:13.359+03:002016-08-19T11:19:13.359+03:00It is sound..

Everyone should be a milky coffee colour and races should be so homogenised as to have no distinctive features or culture. Bringing in the immigrants, especially with their superior breeding power, is designed to break down cultures. They have done this at every level. With families by putting a cultural gap between children and parents, by the introduction of feminism, by easing divorce laws, by equality legislation and with biased family law. At the community level by drawing people into cities, by house prices and gentrification of areas so that 3 generations of a family can no longer afford to live in the same area, by removal of amenities, by breaking up the railway and bus systems (again forcing people into cities), by turning councils into arms of central government and having them impose 'cultural norms' on every area and by de-industrialisation. At a countrywide level the class system has been broken down, employers have to tackle equality legislation and racial legislation. And finally PC has shut up any remaining dissenters. In essence, everything that might have been a pocket of resistance has been broken down to individual components who have no collective power, culture or history with which to fight back while the next generation are being brought up by the education system as little automatons who believe in climate change and all the tripe coming out of the UN. And most people don't realise that this is now pretty much the end of the war and they have won.<br /><br />ChristianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
