wow, i had no idea that it was like this with the turks of germany
These people came here in the mid/late sixties at the request of the Turkish government. That one asked the native population, I think that goes without saying. At the time they started to pour into the country, it was practically rebuilt, the economy thriving and unemployment was not a problem at all, but at the same time the economy had no real use for an extra share of workers, so they were used for lowering wages. Oddly enough, I have met several Turks that really believe that they have rebuilt this country after the Second World War, and they are 100% serious about it.
same here
officially they rebuilt france after world war 2
like you said, in reality, it's all about lowering the wages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_dumping
this is what happens when you think with your belly
in the european culture, the society was seen as man (organicism)
for example, see plato's chariot allegory:
The Charioteer represents intellect, reason, or the part of the soul that must guide the soul to truth; one horse represents rational or moral impulse or the positive part of passionate nature (e.g., righteous indignation); while the other represents the soul's irrational passions, appetites, or concupiscent nature. The Charioteer directs the entire chariot/soul, trying to stop the horses from going different ways
Parts of the Soul | Rational (2) | Spirited (3) | Appetitive (1) |
Chariot Part | Charioteer | White noble horse on the Right | Black ugly horse on the Left |
Loves | Truth, Wisdom and Analysing | Honour and Victory | Pleasure, Money, Comfort, Physical Satisfaction |
Desires | Truth | Self-Preservation | Basic Instincts � Hunger, Thirst, Warmth, Sex�etc. |
The Virtue | Wisdom | Courage | Temperance |
The Vice | Pride and Sloth | Anger and Envy | Gluttony, Lust and Greed |
Body Symbol | Head | Heart | Belly/Genitals |
Class in Republic | Guardians(The Philosopher King) | Auxiliaries/Soldiers(Keep the workers in their place) | Merchants/Workers(Self interested) |

pay especially attention to the virtues, body symbol, and class:
the guardians: wisdom, head
the auxiliaries/soldiers: courage, heart
merchant/workers: belly/genitals
it was the same in the very first indo-european (aryan) text, the rig veda:
When they divided Puruṣa how many portions did they make?
What do they call his mouth, his arms? What do they call his thighs and feet?
The Brahman was his mouth, of both his arms was the Rājanya (kshatriyas) made.
His thighs became the Vaiśya, from his feet the Śūdra was produced.

the brahmins are the head because they must command the rest of body/society
in today's europe, the head was cut, and we are governed by the belly
"capitalism", "communism", they are all the same, they think with the belly, economy is the only thing that matters to them
if they need to bring more inmigrants in to lower the wages and be more competitive, they'll do it
only nazism was european in modern times
