Having spent weeks talking amongst themselves about the chronic and dangerous rise of youth unemployment in Europe (as we warned here), the Center of planning and Economic Research in Greece has proposed a controversial measure.

This is the logical end to leftwing socialism: slavery
Slaves have always worked for benefits (food, etc.). Due to regulations imposed by the government-connected, socialist political/regulator classes, it’s illegal for designated peasants to produce useful items.

Or Genocide.
Usually both.
Deporting unemployed foreigners from your country is not a bad idea. And it actually improves the economic opportunities for your own people while reducing demand on the social safety net, wherever it is tried.
