Re: Marxism and Laissez-Faire (none / 0)

How important is whaling as an issue? There's no way Norway could join the EU and continue whaling.

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper

Re: Marxism and Laissez-Faire (none / 0)

Oh, I am sure that this will be a major obstacle in future negotiation and it has to be resolved before we can dream of joining the EU. :)

To be honest I don't think it would be a major issue on joining the EU. Norway is not hunting whales for commercial purposes only for scientific reasons and it was not a major issue in 1994 and I doubt it will be in the future.

Re: Marxism and Laissez-Faire (none / 1)

Well, the whaling season is undeniably commercial, though it's small-scale and only benefits local fishing communities. Are you perhaps thinking of Japan or Iceland?

Otherwise agreed, including with your analysis upthread.

Re: Marxism and Laissez-Faire (none / 0)

The whaling issue is more of a symbolic issue like the sovereignty issue and are more important for people living in the northern parts of Norway, still, I reckon that most Norwegians are in favour of hunting whale as long as it's deemed ecologically viable. (Although I have no statistics at hand to support my claim).
