I think it is helpful to never forget that nowadays there is a big difference between how a country was meant to be (usually basic documents like constitutions etc. give a hint), and how it really is. The dream always beats reality. And of course it is fair to say that some countries are better to live in than others. Nobody with a sane mind wpould chnage his home for a life in let's say Somalia or Bangladesh. The range of freedom available in various countries, is wide.

The probvlem with modern Wetsern nations is not how they once were meant and designed and planned to be. The founding principles of the US are great. The modern German constitution is not less so. The way these principles are secretly being eroded, perverted, abolished and taken away is what turns them into societies that are anything but democratic or free. Much of what I see in Germany happeniong, the slogans and paroles being used by poiliticians instead of reasonmablke arguments, remind me of the former GDR. The EU behaves like the central committee of the USSR. Americe slowly seems to shift towards a somewhat militaristic, totalitarian model. None of all this was laid or can be explained by the founding pricniples of these countries and institutions - but by the explciit ignoration if not even intended violation of these.

Take this quote by the current chief of the Euro-group, Jean-Claude Juncker.

"Wir beschließen etwas, stellen das dann in den Raum und warten einige Zeit ab, ob was passiert. Wenn es dann kein großes Geschrei gibt und keine Aufstände, weil die meisten gar nicht begreifen, was da beschlossen wurde, dann machen wir weiter - Schritt für Schritt, bis es kein Zurück mehr gibt.” (SPIEGEL 52/1999)

"We decide something, set it up in public space and then wait a while to see if something happens. If there is no big turmoil and no rebellion, because most people do not even understand what it is that was decided, then we move on - step by step until there is no more return."

That speaks for itself. Damn bastard. Like all others in the EU, he is just after more totalitarian control for the bureaucrats and beyond the reach of the people of Europe, and German tax money from German workers. Maybe because Belgium, with third or second highest debt level in the EU after Greece, is starting to falter, too?
