Around the world, progressive parties have come to see tight immigration restrictions as unnecessary, even cruel. What if they’re actually the only way for progressivism to flourish?

That the era of low immigration was also the era of progressive triumph is no coincidence. […] The United States felt more like a cohesive nation to many voters, with higher levels of social trust and national pride, and politicians were able to enact higher taxes on the rich and new benefits like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

    European here. My wife lost her residency after the cop took six months to validate her moving to the next city. She is still an illegal. Even if I married her, she still cannot work. She have a freaking PhD.

    And these “liberals” from a nazi country want to explain me that the “progressive” giving it to the nazis are the only way for the “left” to win?

    THAT’S LITERALLY NATIONAL-SOCIALISM YOU DUMB IDIOTS.

    Fuck off if you support that inhumane appartheid-like policy. Frontex is blocking lifesavers and letting people drown in the mediteranea and that’s what you supporting.

      No, it is not literally national-socialism. That one shared nothing but the name with any left wing parties and policies.

      Nazis were always hard right wing and the greatest success the neo-Nazis ever had was convince people that Nazis were somehow left-wing.

        I know history, obviously the nazis were not “left wing”. Guess what else isn’t socialist? “Left-wing” parties giving in to the far-right and whining about immigration.

        We are. It still takes at least 6 months to get a visa, and that visa doesn’t allow her to leave the country.

        See? That’s what I’m talking about. Idiots like you don’t know shit about immigration process and how inhumane the whole thing is. You just want less brown people.
