A looters’ economy ultimately cannibalizes itself. When there is no more left to loot, no one left to loot, it collapses, implodes, and brings down with it whatever is left of productivity and civilized society.
As the term economy is understood to be a system of trade – a barter system, or laissez-faire, or a mixed economy in which the freedom to trade and produce hampered, saddled and skewed by government controls and regulations, the notion of an economy founded on altruism is, like an “Islamic economy,” an oxymoron.
The Gatestone Institute carried a revealing article about the state of Sweden on October 17th, Ingrid Carlqvust’s “Sweden Close to Collapse.” She began the article with:
Sweden is fast approaching a complete collapse. More and more municipalities are raising the alarm that if the migrants keep coming at this pace, the government can no longer guarantee normal service to its citizens. In addition, ominous statements from government officials have left Swedes in fear of what tomorrow may bring. If the migrant wave keeps coming, in 10-15 years, Swedes will be a minority in their own country.
At a press conference October 9, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven said that Sweden is in a state of crisis. However, when asked to clarify what he meant by this, Löfven was unable to produce a single coherent sentence.
Three ministers appeared by the Prime Minister’s side at the hastily summoned press conference, which came on the heels of an extraordinary government meeting. The purpose of the press conference seems to have been to convey two messages:
To explain to the world and the Swedish people that Sweden is facing “one of the largest humanitarian efforts in Swedish history.”
That there is no more housing available, and migrants should be prepared to live in tents.
During the question period after the ministers’ speeches, journalist Tomas Ramberg of Ekot Public Radio asked: “You say that Sweden is preparing for a crisis situation, what do you mean by those dramatic words?”
