Isn't Switzerland, on any meaningful account, far more "multicultural" than the rest of Europe? We're talking about what's arguably the most decentralized country in the world here; the one in which four different languages are dominant in different regions.
And, aside from all that, artificially-enforced uniformity seems no less totalitarian than artificially-enforced diversity. Wouldn't you regard any legislative policy that attempts to direct the composition of civil society - toward any goal - to be inherently totalitarian? Certainly it at least creates a sort of circular reference in the mechanism of democracy: how can the state be held accountable to society if it has the power to manipulate society?
- Kudzu_Bob 14y agoSwitzerland is far more multicultural than the rest of Europe. Switzerland must embrace multiculturalism the way the rest of Europe has. Switzerland is the most decentralized country in the world. Switzerland is inherently totalitarian. Legislative policy that attempts to direct the composition of civil society is bad when citizens vote for it. Legislative policy that attempts to direct the composition of civil society is good when it is imposed on an unwilling citizenry by a foreign bureaucracy. Got it. Everything is much clearer now.
