This book looks interesting

http://secure.pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=634

"Blekingegade is a quiet Copenhagen street. It is also where, in May 1989, the police discovered an apartment that had served Denmark’s most notorious twentieth-century bank robbers as a hideaway for years. The Blekingegade Group members belonged to a communist organization and lived modest lives in the Danish capital. Over a period of almost two decades, they sent millions of dollars acquired in spectacular heists to Third World liberation movements, in particular the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). In May 1991, seven of them were convicted and went to prison."

So the party Venstre (which was the main party in the previous government) has presented its new immigration policies that it wants to implement... They propose that, people from the blue countries may immigrate if they get annual wages of more than 39,000 USD, while people from all the other countries may immigrate if they get annual wages of more than 73,000 USD.

...And yes, they are serious. A vomitingly disgusting proposal to treat people as first or second rank citizens based on only their origin.

if you immigrate to Denmark from chad you are guaranteed to get paid 73k usd per year but if you immigrate from canada you're only guaranteed to get paid 39k

I think their idea to guarantee immigrants a job is a good one but this goes in the wrong direction, I agree it's strange. Just guarantee everyone 73k? :P
No, this has nothing to do with guaranteeing their wages. It has to do with not allowing them to stay if they make less than x amount per year. How on Earth they manage to earn that is up to themselves according to the party.
The proposal comes after a long discussion that was started when a member of the parlament and party wrote an article with the title "Happy Eid to all muslims" in which the person argued that there should be different criteria for different people.

Translated:
Quote
"But my answer is also that it's not necessary to set the same criteria for everyone, because in general there's a big difference in the ability and desire to integrate, depending on whether it is a christian American or Swede and a muslim Somalian or Pakistani, who comes here."

Original:
Quote
Men mit svar er også, at det ikke er nødvendigt at stille samme krav til alle, for i hovedreglen er det sådan, at der er stor forskel på evnen og viljen til integration, alt efter om det er en kristen amerikaner eller svensker og en muslimsk somalier eller pakistaner, der kommer hertil.

Source article:
http://www.b.dk/kronikker/glaedelig-eid-til-alle-muslimer

Basically they're trying to approach Danish People's Party on immigration issues in hope of letting Danish People's Party let them have their wishes on other issues, like the economy. It'd be interesting to see the chaos unfold as the right wing tries to agree on economic policies when Liberal Alliance wants negative growth in the public sector, Left (and the conservatives too if I remember correctly) want 0% growth while Danish People's Party wants 0.8% growth.

So, in your mind, is it possible for a government to spend money and it not be socialism?

And do you also think privatized prisons are a good idea?

The United States has a Federal Government , State Governments and then Local governments.  The Federal Government has enumerated powers for good reasons.  The Federal Government should not reach it's power into what can be done via the State governments and the State governments should not reach it's power into what can be done at the local level and the local level should not reach it's power into what can be done by the individual.  The enumerated powers of the Federal government dictate constitutionally that all other powers are left to the States and to the People.  Charity is not the domain of any government.  Individuals can VOLUNTARILY be as charitable as they wish and have no need for governments to take by force, via taxes for anything outside of their enumerated powers that the PEOPLE have agreed to give the institutions.

The United States of America has the BEST form of Government in the history of mankind.  It was the first human advanced government that stated inalienable rights are endowed upon mankind by the Creator and can not be given or taken away by a Monarchy or despotic government run by "well meaning" delusional elites.

You want to ruin this form of government?  Continue to "fundamentally transform" America until it's broken beyond repair.

       “I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe.…Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing. Make them intelligent and they will be vigilant, give them the means of detecting the wrong, and they will apply the remedy.” (Daniel Webster, Works, 1:403.)

That's all you can do, declare delusions of having the truth when reality and facts have yet to be on the forum's group-think side of any "debate".

so guys what's your favorite communist party in your country?

www.pslweb.org
i've heard the party for socialism and liberation is pretty good.

CPUSA (communist party of usa) seems to be a puppet of the democrats, so not at all worth supporting.

This is simply where you declare your positions and Bla declares his, and sometimes we butt in and add our beliefs, and you continue ramming Bla for not believing your proof-less arguments.

I like the green party because it seems pretty decent and it's got some popularity and it's not super "radical" or anything too drastic of a change other than what's needed

so not really socialist but close enough

Sorry, reality and facts show that America's form of government along with it's economic system of capitalism is on one end of the desirable graph and Communist and other despot countries are on the other end.  Socialism is simply the road to Communism and totalitarianism.  Nobody is beating the door down to immigrate into North Korea, Cuba, etc.  Where people are literally putting their lives in jeopardy to get into America.  That's been a historical fact and only people living in North Korea, Cuba, etc. could deny that.

Sorry, reality and facts show that your head is fucking solid.

Socialism/communism and totalitarianism have nothing to do with each other. I'd like to know if you could count how many times this has been mentioned.

54% of people in Denmark respond they would be ready to pay more in taxes to preserve the current quality of public services, while 19% respond they would be ready to accept lower quality to avoid increasing taxes.
But 35% 943 of municipal board members respond they would be ready to accept lowering the service quality to avoid increasing taxes.

Pretty fun, University of Copenhagen's matriculation earlier this year got "couped" by a leftist student activist group who spoke against a reform that would give people less time to finish their studies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1BEDfLRjDY

There were large student demonstrations against it last year, one day pretty much everyone from math and physics went to demonstrate and many parked their bikes inside the institute.
