I can understand why the Somalis would believe that bullshit - they have nothing so they will take anything they can get. Even being equally worthless under communism would be better than what they have now
it's hard for me to determine if these leftists are truly retarded, or if they just have a hard time beating down that last bit of conscience when pushing their institutionalized deception
the one silver lining in all of this is that hopefully good-faith people are being educated to the fact that government creates a honeypot of power that attracts the worst kinds of individuals
The fact that government *should* work a certain way doesn't mean that it will... and a lot of (even center-left) arguments are based upon, what I believe to be, a naive assumption that government is analogous to some non-profit organization.
I think we're finding out that, in fact, not only will government *not* work in the ways one would expect, it is in fact working to the exact opposite effect.
Juncker broke the rules to promote his underling... and there's no mechanism in place to remove him unless he volunteers to resign - that's how fucked up the EU Commission is.
