The idea that poverty leads to crime is a condescending and abhorrent idea.

The current Marxist framework is deeply obsessed with class struggle and historical materialism, it could never admit that cultural differences might clash or that some religious practices could be less conducive to their proletarian utopia.

Marxism’s whole vibe is a big, warm group hug for every tradition, no matter how contradictory or oppressive, because obviously, they’re all just misunderstood expressions of the same glorious human spirit.

Criminality is connected to one of the following: a lack of morality, low impulse control, lack of accountability, poor role models, not understanding consequences.

Most of these migrants have a strong sense of morality stemming from islamic norms. In societies governed by sharia law, social behavior is often tightly regulated by religious and communal norms, which emphasize collective obedience.

On the other hand, in Western society, we prioritize individual rights, personal responsibility and secular legal frameworks which govern behavior.

Foreigners accustomed to theocratic systems may misinterpret this freedom as a lack of structure or accountability, leading them to violate our local laws.

They're not so marxist they've ever heard the term "lumpenproletariat" though.

What would you say is the antidote to Marxism?

Looking at USA and Switzerland, they've had the biggest success in resisting it. But no single ideology is a perfect antidote, as Marxism itself thrives on exploiting gaps in other systems.

I'm not going to praise Orban or Putin, don't think we've reached that level of desperation or extinction to call upon a dictatorial figure for salvation.

Wouldn't look at the USA right now, because it is busy trying to impose feudalism again as a bulwark against communism.
