"shaft: Didn't much of those problems stem from institionalised socialism that originated in a different political/economic/s ocial climate?"
Sure these did.
"Will you be celebrating enlargement with the rest of us?"
Not really, but that doesn't mean I am against it. On the contrary. I just don't feel I have to obey the propaganda and enjoy.
"I think a lot of the fear of the "dumb countryfolks" may stem from reduced security and transition to a new.."
Yes, it does. People vote for those who promise them security. Socialists say they will give people jobs. How can a politician "give jobs"? A new job position only comes available when a capitalist is running a succesful business. Socialists enlarged unemployment by oppressing small business. Small company owners will not make a crowd like the miners. They just work their asses off and get taxed more and more.
There's a lot of talk in Poland now, about which of the new EU countries will become "second Ireland" economically. I am sadly sure it will not be my country. I'd say Estonia, where they have flat income tax.
