Why have all Latin countries fallen on hard times?

It still is though. Shitty goverment, shit economy and very high unemployment levels

It's not shitty at all.

Italy is making good progress on LGBT rights, it has good immigration and is becoming more cosmopolitan and diverse and have good abortion rights for women. It's backwards in a lot of ways but it is certainly coming along.

Unemployment doesn't matter as long as you have a strong welfare state, which Italy has.

It's also part of the Eurozone.

...

I can't tell if bait or not

...

What a pair of shitlords.

Grow up and get a girlfriend, virgins.

Wow homophobic much

Because Italy barely existed at all, marred by ongoing internal division political, economic, even linguistic.

It's a 155 year old country right now, in the CURRENT YEAR.

To be still around after all it went through, that is but a miracle.

I apologize. If you are gay I hope I didn't offend you.

The quality of a country has nothing to do with how socially liberal they are, this has to be bait

It didn't have slave labour to support it's past "greatness".

The unification of Italy was a mistake.

This:

Italy should've been like this


1)The glorious kingdom of Piedmont and Padania

2)The sacred catholic papacy's state (Central Italy)

3)The Dirty Mafia kingdom of Mezzogiorno and the Moorish Mafia island Sicily

4)The Shithole republic of irrelevant islands: Sardinia and Corsica.

2)The sacred catholic papacy's state (Central Italy)

>implying they were ever not shitty and incompetent

>sacred
>catholic
>papacy

Fuck off you retarded fuck.

And yes, my family did originate in Northen Italy (Liguria) so yes I do believe that the South is inhabited by subhuman sand nigger mongrels and that's what keeping Italy away from its full potential like in the Reinassance.

>The Shithole republic of irrelevant islands: Sardinia and Corsica.
you want m8
shitalianu di mmerda

This is correct. Southern Italians are dogshit.

>Unemployment doesn't matter as long as you have a strong welfare state, which Italy has.
I've met people who actually believe this shit, so I'll just say it to be sure: Italy's welfare state is one of the smallest in the continent. It's literally uncomparable in width with the northern european ones, it basically only deals with disabled people and pensioners. Unemployed, neets, families are all abandoned by italian welfare.

I agree with you when you say that welfare states don't cause unemployment.

Not exactly welfare but as a Swede I was pretty shocked when I studied English in the UK and learned from an Italian student that his education actually cost him (or rather his wealthy parents) money.

Which is weird considering it's not what I've said at all. In fact I haven't never thought about one way or the other.
I just said that Italy has a very small welfare state, and all people thinking we're some kind of poor Sweden have no fucking idea of what they're talking about.

Case in point:
We're not at anglo levels of educational jewery, but we do have to pay money for education at all levels.

>Which is weird considering it's not what I've said at all. In fact I haven't never thought about one way or the other.

Oh!

Italy has high unemployment and you said it has a virtually non-existent welfare state.

What were you trying to say then?

As a southern italian i may be of part, but "20th century" is a very... uh, bad definition i'd say. You must take in a separate way 1900-1922, 1922-1945 and 1945-2000.

I was just trying to say that Italy has a virtually non-existent welfare state.
I haven't written anything about unemployment at all.
If you got confused by this:
>I've met people who actually believe this shit
Let me specify that it referred exclusively to this:
>a strong welfare state, which Italy has

Yes, I agree with you that a welfare state does not cause unemployment.

It's definitely true that you can't look at the 20th century as one single period of italian history, but the way you pieced it is weird.
I'd go with 1861-1918 (piedmontese Italy), 1919-1945 (fascist Italy), 1946-1978 (reconstruction Italy), 1979-1993 (boomers Italy), 1994-2016 (current Italy).
Boomers Italy might seem like a brief period, but it was so cancerous I thought it deserved its own slot.

...

I dunno about "shitty," it seems pretty nice to me. I'd rather live there than anywhere in eastern Europe. "Incompetent" I'll give you.

We're talking about 20th century, so i guess you should start in 1900 and end in 2000.
By the way, Italy became fascist only in 1922. So it's 1900-1922, for the other stuff, i agree.

>Italy became fascist only in 1922
Are you gonna leave the whole post war social scenario as part of the pre war era? The socialist insurrections, the discontented veterans, etc.?
I think they fit much better under the fascist period, since they were what kickstarted it.

Well, i think you might be right.

Absolutely THIS
Give back the Serenissima Republic right now

Is Padania even possible
What would it take for Northern Italians to start demanding Independence

nation states were a mistake

of course, blacks cause unemployment

>2)The sacred catholic papacy's state
I'd rather not be ruled by a Jesut faggot nowdays thank you

France still best

Because superiority complex. We just wanned to fit into the european power so we went allies in ww1 because they were those w/ major possibility to win the war, then, when we don't get what promised during the ww1 there was a massive butthurt in the gorvement, so nobody really tried to stop the fascim and those who tried ended up being killed. The second part of the 20th was pretty good for italy btw
