Sigh, the classic extremists trap, in order to be a good guy, you need to keep geeting more and more extreme.
You are basically saying that unless I am actively working toward the same goal you are, then I am a terrible person.
You mention that "when the government's aims are in conflict with the well-being of the people, the government has failed", that is litterarly my point!
The government has a duty of spending taxes to provide services for it's people (citizens and people with approved residency and work permits), a migrant requesting residency and work permits is not yet part of the governments people.
You say that capitalism and communism isn't the only economic systems, sure but no economic system in the world would be able to generate infinite resources.
Sigh, the classic Centrist trap. In order to defend your reflexive defense of the status quo, you have to pretend that anything else is "extreme" ๐
I have said nothing of the sort. I've merely pointed out that you defend as inevitable that which is unnecessarily enforced. The only one making snap character judgments here is you.
True.
Also true, but people with disabilities generally tend to know someone in the country before migrating. People who are deprived by their loved ones being denied entry.
Unless we're talking refugees, in which case it's any country's legal and moral duty to take them in and protect them from whatever they're fleeing from.
Again with the strawmen. You don't need infinite resources to care for everyone who's in need. In the case of all but the poorest countries (which are mostly that poor because of being looted by richer countries) you just need to better distribute the ones you already have, rather than throw all the wealth and ownership at the already obscenely rich wealth hoarders.
To want a better deal for the 90% of people who aren't rich and use resources on those that need them most rather than perpetuating the upwards transfer of wealth inherent to capitalism isn't communism. It's just wanting a better world for the vast majority of humanity.
