Angelus Novus: Question for American liberal Pollyanna Europhiles: Do you guys actually, like, you know, read anything about Europe in the newspapers or magazines, or are you all just basing your utopian projections on your viewing La Dolce Vita on DVD or something?

========

There's a quicker path to the same end: Just take seriously the tautology that capitalism is capitalism.

If Europe matched the descriptions Angelus objects to, Yugoslavia migh still be whole, there would have been no Rwanda genocide (the ultimate villain being France), and perhaps Third-Generation Turks (their grandfather having moved their 50 years ago, would be German citizens.

And perhaps Black soccer players would live more peaceful lives.
