The Criminal, Socialm and Economic Cost of Immigrants in the EU
When you read the media, social media, and talk on the street, the main complaints you hear are the social and economic costs: Immigrants cause more crime and more terrorism, they destroy social cohesion, work less, and consume much more welfare. Are these claims true? For which immigrants?

Journalism is not a crime: Stand with Hüseyin Doğru - DiEM25 Communications
#politics #EU #freedom #propaganda
An international campaign is calling for the immediate lifting of European Union sanctions imposed on Hüseyin Doğru, in what is a grave attack on press freedom and democratic rights.

Not much, actually.
As Robert Paxton argues in his The Anatomy of Fascism, Nazism and fascism in general do not have the same relationship to ideas as socialism or liberalism:
The role programs and doctrine play in it is, on closer inspection, fundamentally unlike the role they play in conservatism, liberalism, and socialism. Fascism does not rest explicitly upon an elaborated philosophical system, but rather upon popular feelings about master races, their unjust lot, and their rightful predominance over inferior people. It has not been given intellectual underpinnings by any system builder, like Marx, or by any major critical intelligence, like Mill, Burke, or Tocqueville.
In a way utterly unlike the classical “isms,” the rightness of fascism does not depend on the truth of any of the propositions advanced in its name. Fascism is “true” insofar as it helps fulfill the destiny of a chosen race or people or blood, locked with other peoples in a Darwinian struggle, and not in the light of some abstract and universal reason. The first fascists were entirely frank about this.
