A shame :D
Wanted to mention that I personally do not care, who performs the song, as long as I find it to my liking that is. And if I have managed to remember a name of a band, it’s simply cause they are… or were… worth remembering.

1) Yes, state should take care of it’s populace. Including poor people.
2) Yes, state should be run by wealthy people. Poor people should not be allowed to rule.
Where is a contradiction here, again?

3) And yes, you are naive and idealistic. But it’s fine :)

You honestly don’t seem to have an actual clue of what should be done better, all I see here is constant attempt to stay in the opposition to what is done currently, regardless of whether it’s for the better or worse.

I’d suggest you to actually invest yourself into some knowledge of politics, some of the very basic definitions in it, and then come back to talk with the naive, idealistic me.

Have this country (as many developed countries in the world do) provided them with, say, free language courses and stuff like that?
Btw, my point about hard working and language is a bit separate. Old people are screwed in this country irregardless of which language they speak.

2)
a) Latvia has no way to defend itself in case of full-scale conflict. We are simply waaay too small. And in case of war noone will defend this territory anyway. Ask any military expert.
b) And, please, for your own good, let go this paranoia already. Russia has better things to do, than capturing this small patch of land with no resources and no strategic assets whatsoever.
c) “Leaving it defenseless, cutting funding to defense … against the terms of both of these global organizations.”
Bingo! Again, let THEM pay us.
“We have to follow the global political rules whether we like it or not.”
No rules force us to enter NATO and pay them money.
What is “pants-on-head retarded” is not paying teachers and policemen, while sending soldiers on the other side of the world to enter conflicts we don’t have _any_ political or economical interests in.

3) Since you found some time to respond, please find some time to understand what I am actually saying. Which is: all pro-russian and/or pro-latvian rhetorics are harmful to this country. Both nationalists and anti-nationalists must go. We have much bigger issues at hand.
So you mention ‘Russian as a second language’… Personaly, if there was a referendum, I would vote against it. Taking current situation in Latvia in mind, it simply wouldnt work.
However, in theory, having russian as ‘official’ (not ‘state language’) could bring certain economic benefits.
Here I suggest you read about Malta. Its very similar to Latvia in many aspects. Small country, recently ceased to be a part of the large empire, part of the populace hates English :) They do want the money they get from english tourists though. Hence they have Maltese as state language, and English as official. Tonns of other examples I can name, but lets not start on this topic. In Latvia it just wont work. Language is a ‘sacred cow’ here.
And please, please, please, stop about “history not forgotten” crap already. Think about _current_ problems.

4) Harmful, you say. Do you honestly believe that people who didnt have money in the first place will be less inclined to corruption?
You mention ‘Democracy’ there. Let’s take the biggest one as example, shall we? They ARE rulled by the wealthy. You won’t get anywhere near the government in the US unless you are filthy rich.
Btw, do you honestly believe, that democracy is “all about giving power to the so-called uneducated, unwashed masses”. Because if you do, then I’m afraid we’ll have to continue this discussion when you will grow up :)

P.S:
And stop using the word “Soviet”. Its gone. Vanished. No more Soviets. Noone will send noone to Siberia or whatever. You might starve to death, or be forced to leave the country and work abroad though.

Cheers ;)
