Re: Likewise, Why aren't white Europeans who would have been successful and rich in America/Australia/New Zealand/Canada moving over there instead of staying and griping in Europe?
I suppose because it is their home, why should they leave.
But immigrant youths, who rioted in France last year and wreacked havoc to the tune of $240 million, were born in France and educated in French schools.... Keep in mind that we're talking of immigrants of second and third generation, that is of people whose parents or grandparents were immigrants. Anyway, let's follow your line of thought which posits that, no matter how long they have been living in Europe, immigrants of Muslim/nonwhite descent are inherently unfit to adjust to the European way of life... Now, does it mean that a "purified" Europe, a Europe not burdened with Muslim, nonwhite "aliens" would be a social bliss, a model of political harmony impervious to social strife? Of course not, and History has shown that CLASS struggle usually takes up where RACIAL warfare leaves off. Europeans, and whites generally, have not waited for nonwhite immigrants to fight it out... among each other.
After all, the bloodiest wars of religion that were waged in Europe involved white Catholics against their fellow white Protestants (the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre of 1572, eg). Likewise, the French Revolution (1789) and the Bolshevik one (1917) were both climaxes of a CLASS warfare. Ditto with the Spanish civil war (1936) and, to an extent, the Nazi regime (1933). All these major political crises ended up in bloodshed where white Europeans slaughtered other white Europeans by the million.... Actually that's the little dirty secret --and lesson-- the US ruling class has always heeded: RACIAL warfare is the most potent, the most efficient way, to stave off CLASS warfare between whites.... Somehow, the whole history of the United States is but a never-ending variation/recombination of racial warfare. It's racial warfare that made it impossible for socialist/communist parties to take root in the US, it's racial wedge-politics that turned the GOP into what pundit Michael Lind calls the party of the white majority(*), lumping white millionaires together with "white trash"....
