The Brussels weenies should allow the Vlaams Blok to operate.
The sick, sad thing, is that Europe's hysteria over "racism" and "nationalism," which was intended to prevent another Nazi regime and another Holocaust, is being used to promote the immigration of people who are often Nazi-like in their intolerance.
The problem is that the Europeans still see nationalism rather than statism as the big problem with Nazism. But the fact is, if the European Union ever really comes together, it has more potential for becoming a Nazi-like world power than any nationalistic European state.
I blame the socialist demagogue Franklin Delano Roosevelt, his successor Truman, and Europe's own hoity-toity elitism, for creating the idea that large bureaucratic states that seek to control every aspect of your lives are consistent with free societies. (Imagine how things might have been different if the occupation and de-Nazification of Germany had been undertaken by a capitalist rather than Harry S Truman).
The fact of the matter is, is that without the all-powerful state idea that is so prevalent in Europe, the Nazis would never have been more than a minor-league gang of thugs, but with the European state-worship, Europe will eventually turn into a fascist empire of sorts no matter what it does to suppress Nazi or fascist tendencies.
What Europe really needs is a good dose of ol' Murray Rothbard.
That is all.
