[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]However progressive economic policies seem to only flourish within homogeneity. [/quote]

This portion of your question is both extremely provocative and not credible, so I can't provide an answer.[/quote]

Can you point to examples of sustainable socialism outside of nordic countries?

And before anyone says canada, uk, australia, or other western european countries please check their demographic mixes before writing.

I think this is a very uncomfortable topic to explore because it will inform what exactly is the achievable by progressives in this country.

It seems that the examples as well as the sociological micro data (how humans interact with those that are similar vs. different) point to a certain correlation. [/quote]

Switzerland, New Zealand, Australia, Austria, Canada all have larger foreign-born populations as a percentage than we do.  And obviously we haven't failed yet.[/quote]

Interesting that you used 'foreign-born' specifically instead of general race. have you been to these countries? Other than NZ, the rest are way whiter than the US (canada is close, but still statistically whiter). Switzerland has tons of foreign born expats from the US and germany, uk, and western europe working for a few years before leaving. I worked in zurich for two years - even most of the expats in zurich, zug, lucerne are all 'white' even if the hail from the US, munich, london or northern italy.

Aus and Can have lots of UK expats due to being commonwealth countries.

where did i ever say anything about failing? I talked about sustainable and successful progressive policies, which you are joking if include us in the class of the nordics.

Racially, we aren't really that diverse.  We are 12.8% black and 4% Asian.[/quote]
