Norway. It has a large social-imperialist welfare state (sure, some Bangladeshi child workers may have died from exposure to toxins as a result of the manufacture of your telecom equipment, but it does keep service cheap for the Norwegian ratepayer!) and a substantial enough sovereign wealth fund from the sale of oil to more powerful countries that they're somewhat insulated from neoliberal pressures.
Jacob Bailey
If you mean which is most amenable to communism then probably Greece
Henry Robinson
I disagree, it is amenable to chaos but not communism,.
Gavin Walker
I mean obviously the country is in no way communist and is in fact led by an anti-communist government but the communist movement in Greece is probably stronger than in any other "Western" country (as the term "Western" is usually defined).

Complete bullshit made up by Anglo/french/german barbarians so they could pretend they’re ancestors contributed to Mediterranean culture

Fine, change it to Cuba then.
No European country meets these criteria, sorry.
Lucas Hughes
Connor Campbell
THATS NOT WESTERN EITHER
Ethan Jenkins
Iceland, maybe? As I far as I know, it's quite comfy out there.
James Hughes
That's not what social-imperialism means but otherwise spot on.
David Collins
If it's in the Western Hemisphere. It's Western enough for me.
Elijah Adams
Are you high? What else is it supposed to be?

See pic related.
The activities of Unions of Amazon in Germany were countered by Amazon using the cheap labour of Czech Amazon workers, temporarily hiring more workers to make up for the losses incurred by the german strike.
While a czech worker is happy to find any job for a measly pay, since the price of life necessities is roughly the same as in germany, yet the pay is around one third. And if one works in Prague, the rent is too damn high there. So without union, without information, a foreigner is made to be a scab through no consctious intent to be a scab of his own.
Isn't it beautiful how capital can move across borders, but people cannot so easily?

How many of you actually live in communist countries?
What's it like working in a government gulag? Is it anything like the corporate gulag? Two sides of the same coin?

No sense of humor, ugly women.
Cold and expensive as shit.
They eat rotten fish from a can.
Too small, everybody knows everybody.
Shit dark.
Shit poor.
Literally who?
TL;DR: Cuba it is.
Jeremiah Turner
literally the only good thing that's ever come out of Norway is the black metal scene.
Nathan White
New Zealand or pretty much any Caribbean island nation except Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

And that everyone is a krona millionare because the government set up a public oil fund.
If any other state, even in Eastern Europe, had so much oil, we would only get a few billionares, getting rich from the oil, and everyone else's lives would suck (pretty much a Russia).

By what metric is the US western but Cuba not western?
Nicholas Peterson
I'm pretty comfortable here in Belgium. The best would probably be further north. The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland are supposed to be a little bit more comfy, but Belgium is fine enough too.
Jacob Morgan
Iceland. The only country to jail their bankers after 2008.
Shame none accidentally burned down the prisons.

Portugal, it is not Imperialist perse, gets fucked by EU
But has a strong and decent Communist party, it's succdems are for the most part actually succdems, and there is a huge level of class conciusness
Mason Thomas
Thoughts on the PVDA? Are they still good or did they got full reformist when Ludo Martens died?
They still call themselves ML for what I know and on next elections are going to become one of the strongest parties in Wallonia
Brandon Rodriguez
Reeee, that's the imperialist sweds. Norwegians eat rehydrated dry-fish that's been partially dissolved in lye.
Wrong, the black metal scene is pure cancer, and nothing particularly good has ever come out of Norway.
Hunter White
t. amerimutt piece of shit who's never been to europe or has been here one and activley looked for kfc

Why isn't south america considered part of the west?
Benjamin Wright
Because "west" is used very frequently to refer to "white" countries.
Julian White
Because America exploits the shit out of them and doesn't consider them "white" no matter how much Brazilians whine about it.
Asher Hernandez
razem is such a toothless little shit, as if equalising the wages will actually fix the poverty in the east
prices will get more expensive with the rising wages ("equalised to eu levels"), and the poverty ratio will remain the same while porky either evacuates his amazon sweatshops elsewhere or carries on as normal paying jack and shit to their workers, and nothing of note will have really changed
