I don't know. I couldn't tell you much about. Multiculturalism in the European Union as I'm not too up to date about it. I wonder how many of the people who post here are actually educated about multiculturalism in the European Union, and not just going off of how it's depicted in the states.
From what I can remember, there were oppressed communities in England. Oppressed Muslim communities who then turned everything to shit. For instance, some would throw bricks at cars who weren't driven by muslims if they drove through their area. If anything, some cannot be controlled and it just subjugates races as a whole based on certain terror groups. I'm not certain whether it's true or offensive. Perhaps it's both?11 Reply- +1 y

You're a special kind of stupid aren't you? Let me spell it out for you. Out of all the men arrested for sex crimes (that's 100% of men arrested... ok? Got that? That is 100% of men currently in prison - nothing to do with anyone outside of prison) ONLY 12% of those men arrested for sex crimes identify as Muslim. (Which is not a race). If you're going to argue about disproportionate numbers why don't you actually read the information first?

Yeah in England hundreds of young underage girls were ignored for years as hundreds muslim men were allowed to roam free and continue to gang rape. I can't think of any other religion or culture where it's normal for gangs of men who are fathers, sons, brothers, cousins, uncles, nephews to go out together and rape young girls. As usual liberals believe a woman should always be believed as long as the perpetrator isn't muslim in which case she must be lying.

Pinning 2000 crimes on 68 people is not very logical, now is it?
- +1 y
68 that were caught. Just look at the Rotherham sex rings in England by muslims that had been born there mostly. You can't tell me it's normal in any society for groups of men to go on gang raping sprees? Germany is probably the most liberal country in Europe and yet time and again German women are reporting sexual harassments and rapes and the German government does their best to cover it up.
- +1 y
Yes, and because only 68 were caught we can't tell anything about the others. Saying they're muslims is a baseless acusation.
In western society it's pretty common for men to yell obscenities at women, at very young girls even. You think that's not encouraging rape? - +1 y
It's pretty common in Britain for Muslim men to yell obscenities at women they see walking in the street or to follow them around.
Most weren't caught but we're identified as middle eastern or North African. Your political correctness makes you biased against the truth - +1 y
No, it's your racism that makes you biased against the truth. Again, "most" were identified. "Most" in this case means nothing, because we don't know how many perpetrators could have been. We don't know if the witnesses themselves were racists like you. They could have lied.
Your first statement is correct however. Men of all cultures are taught that women are their property, both western and eastern. - +1 y
Not true women in the West are free to do as they will. In the middle east I'd a woman steps outside her home unescorted by a male relative she is likely to get gang raped before she makes it back home. Is Islam a race?
- +1 y
The problem you have is not with Islam, you have a problem with people with a different color of skin. Cause if one of your white neighbors is a muslim, you're going to assume they're christian.
Women in the west are free to do as they will? Yeah, like, get abortions... oh wait, they don't get to do that, or have the same wages as men... oh right, they don't, or to walk around without being violently harassed... oh right, they do get violently harassed. - +1 y
Actually they get to do all that in fact we have laws that guarantee a woman working the same job as a man gets paid the same of course if she takes a job that pays less or doesn’t work the same hours or overtime she will be paid less. In most countries except Ireland she can have an abortion though in most countries she has to pay for it herself. The only countries at the moment we're women are violently harassed and sexually assaulted in the street are countries with considerable muslim populations that cannot or will not assimilate or respect the laws of culture of that country. A favourite muslim tactic in the West is to single out a female in the street, in a nightclub or in a swimming pool and surround her and close in on her friendly and playful at first but then they start grouping and shoving their fingers into the vagina and anus. Women are speaking out about this all over Europe in some of the most liberals countries in the world but authorities are too pc to do anything.

Why are you not calling out the rape culture that is highly pervasive in the west then?
Or does it only count as rape if a brown person does it? - +1 y
Because it's disappeared. Can you not stand with muslim women?
- +1 y
Hardly. As I mentioned earlier, harassment is considered hilarious, or "just a compliment".
The victim is blamed most of the time, directly or indirectly. And most people accused of rape don't spend a single day in jail.
All of these things and more I can mention happen in western culture. Every day.
I don't have to stand with muslim women, because muslim women stand perfectly well for themselves. I'm willing to bet you don't know anything about feminist activists in the middle east, because you only use muslim women as a vehicle for your racist views and stop caring about them as soon as they don't serve your agenda. - +1 y

Sexual abuse in Pakistan is rife. An estimated four million children in the country are forced into work from an early age due to poverty and of those, more than a million live on the streets where they are easy prey for men like Ijaz.

As a result, an estimated 90 per cent of street children have been victims of sexual abuse at some point in their lives.

It was the same situation when I was at college, if you see a passed out chick who drank too much you walked passed her and if your dating a girl or hooking up be sure to keep all messages and social media messages as you may need to produce them in a court of law in case of false rape claims. - +1 y

Actually the British, French and Belgian started war in the middle east by arming the Arabs to overthrow the Turks and then after the first world drawing up boarders for new countries regardless of history and tribal identity. Most third world countries problems can be traced right back to Europe and their colonial days Britain, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Denmark.

Yeah, Stalin had an agreement with Hitler. That's politics, sometimes you have to temporarily side with someone you hate to get somewhere. And as soon as Hitler showed his true colors when he attacked Poland, the deal was off.

The German invasion of the USSR was unavoidable.
The USSR had difficult years behind it and the Red Army wasn't 100% ready to fight, thus Stalin bought time. Until Hitler launched his Barbarossa. - +1 y
@jacquesvol and Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and Finland those countries that Russia invaded? "Russia was only taking back what she lost" are you in favour of imperialism?
Again Afghanistan was one battlefield in which the cold war was being fought and we interfered as the communists did in Vietnam when the democratic government of south Vietnam asked us to intervene.
Say what you want it won't change the fact that Russia sold out Poland and western Europe to the Nazis for territory. Without Stalin's help the invasion of Poland, Norway, Denmark, France, Holland and Belgium would not have been possible and Germany would not have gained the resources needed for barbarossa. - +1 y
@jacquesvol The fact that Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania remained free justified the invasion yes. It's a shame Georgia and others could not be saved.

Finland did what it had to do after being attacked by an aggressor and being cut off from British aid with the fall of Norway caught between the ambitions of 2 of the biggest mass murders of the 20th century. The soviets had imperial dreams of recapturing all lost.
That's true just look at what Obama and Clinton did in syria. - +1 y

Yes, Stalin was such a terrible mass murderer that during his government the population of the Soviet Union went from 90 million to 120 million. - +1 y
And yet he killed millions
- +1 y
@Iraqveteran666
I'm sure you're one of those that thinks that he sent 100 million people to gulags. However, the statistics prove that's impossible. In the early stages of his Government, the USSR didn't even have 100 million people. And in the later stages, 100 million people would be 80% of the population.
So, this means that either:
A) Not that many people were sent to the gulag, in fact much less.
B) People went into the gulag like you would into a regular prison, served their time and then left.
C) Stalin sent 80% of the population of his country to an inescapable death trap, constituting the most stupid act in human history. - +1 y
He killed 20 million people. You got to take into how many people were starved to death in Ukraine and during the collective farming failure.

@Iraqveteran666
You mean how many people starved to death because of bad weather+wealthy farmers burning their crops instead of collectivizing+World War II?
And the ukrainians had a libertarian uprising, they were enemies of the Soviet Union, of course they were attacked. - +1 y
An uprising in their own country under the Anarchist black banner. You basically are saying that anyone that wasn't communist was their enemy including other socialists.
The immediate effects of forced collectivization were reduced grain output and almost halved livestock numbers, thus creating major famines throughout the USSR during 1932 and 1933. In 1932–1933, an estimated 11 million people, 3–7 million in Ukraine alone,[9] died from famine after Stalin forced the peasants into collectives (Ukrainians call this famine Holodomor). and thousands eyewitness accounts made by the survivors. - +1 y
Anarchists are not socialists. Jeez, how ignorant can you get?
Did you not read my previous response at all?
The petit bourgeouis farmers of Russia, called kulaks, refused to collectivize and instead chose to burn their crops. You think that had no effect? - +1 y
Anarchism is a political philosophy that advocates stateless societies based on non-hierarchical free associations. Anarchism holds the state to be undesirable, unnecessary, or harmful. While anti-statism is central, some argue that anarchism entails opposing authority or hierarchical organization in the conduct of human relations, including, but not limited to, the state system.[Anarchism as a social movement has regularly endured fluctuations in popularity. Its classical period, which scholars demarcate as from 1860 to 1939, is associated with the working-class movements of the 19th century and the Spanish Civil War-era struggles against fascism.
You keep using the word socialist but don't know the history of socialism or anything about it. Communism is just another form of totalitarian government with the powerful on top enriching themselves while standing on the backs of the people. - +1 y
Main difference between anarchists and communists is, communists believe a period of socialism, where the state exists to equally redistribute resources and protect the country from outsiders is necessary, while anarchists want to go straight to the classless society.
Communism is a classless society where everyone produces according to their skill and receives according to their need. So, in communism, there is nobody to stand on top of anyone.
Do you mean socialism? If so, you are wrong. Socialist countries have consistently fared much better than capitalist ones. Russia was a feudal country with 60% of its population living off agrarian farming. In less than 40 years, it had become a world power who put the first man, woman and animal into space. Cuba was a tiny colony of the US whose only production was sugar and diseases. And today, after 60 years of embargo, Cuba has no infant mortality, 100% literacy rates and 1 college graduate every 30 inhabitants. - +1 y
So anarchists are socialists now? Most countries are socialist especially in Europe and there are many forms of socialism which has its roots among Christian groups in the 1800's

Iraqveteran666 Finland had been a Russian province until 1919, when Poland, the UK and France decided to tear it off Russia and create an independent country. Germany took part in that deal. It was part of the Brest-Litowsk forced agreement imposed by Germany on Russia.
Remember that Germany lost WW1. It was thus imposed by one of the losers.

Anarchists are NOT socialists. Socialism is a form of *government*. Anarchists are against ALL governments.
Good thing I'm the ignorant one on the history of socialism smh.
Socialism as a system was first proposed by Karl Marx in his book Das Kapital, written in the late 19th century. He proposed it as a gateway to communism. Nothing to do with christianity. In fact, Marx called religion the opiate of the people.
Sweden, Norway and the like ARE NOT SOCIALISTS. Socialism is when the workers of a specific type gather together in collectivized factories and such, to produce their craft without a manager or a supervisor to rob them of their work through surplus value. They are social-democratic at best. - +1 y

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_socialism The Finnish people did not want to be ruled by dictators in a totalitarian government and had been part of Sweden before Russia existed, the Finns did not want to remain part of the Russian empire even if it was communist just like a bunch of other Russian held territories that were glad to be free when the communism experiment failed. Why did the Soviet Union collapse because the people did not want it.
You guys are actually in favour of a totalitarian one party state led by a dictator.

"You damn gynocentric, race-polluting, tree-hugging, communistic, gay, feminazist, cuckolding, gender betraying, leftist, jew pieces of shit!" Please dude I know your racist already because of the way you refuse to treat non-white races equally, I know your antisemitic because of your views on Israel, I already know your homophobic because of how you approve of how gays are thrown off buildings in the middle east, I know you hate women because of how you approve of gang rape of muslim and western women, I know your antisemitic cuckold because you think it's OK for your girlfriend to have sex with other men.
Socialism predates Karl Marx who is responsible more for Marxism and it's branches of socialism (communism). Seriously read up on socialism don't just drink the cool aid of some teacher who's indoctrinating you. If communism was so great Russia and eastern Europe would still be communist.
