Please don't move, nobody wants to deal with more yanks.

Germany.

I was thinking about the free college thing is that true?

Do you want to move to a country with communist potential? If so, probably one of these three: Slovenia, Czech rep., Slovakia.

Slovenia has free uni.

finland

I'm looking to experience what life is actually like in a more left leaning country. Obviously nowhere in Europe is actually socialist but right now I have to pay a lot for school and have no health insurance

Come to Norway, we need more radical lefties.

Dis :DD
+ if you are from USA people will worship you

Move to Norway, Iceland or Switzerland. Don't go to any EU country, avoid them like the plague unless for tourism reasons.

Fuck off were full.

Beautiful place but with almost zero far-left potential. Its inhabitants are some of the hugest classcucks on the continent, usually pretty xenophobic and spooked with Swiss exceptionalism. But if you can cope with them and the stifling, Ordnung-muss-sein atmosphere, worth giving it a shot I guess.

That's true, but it's a small country, small population, small cities, so you can live a nice life without much issues and stress, you can walk everywhere, there's very little crime.

Belarus

Go work in Switzerland but live at the border in Germany or Italy or whatever. You'll live like a king.

Wages in Switzerland are insane and probably the highest in the world.

Yes and no. Switzerland is indeed strikingly beautiful, small and peaceful but shares a lot of issues with the rest of the continent (shrinking middle class, growing poverty, unaffordable housing) - one difference is that it is very good at hiding those away. It's one thing the Swiss are exceedingly good at: put up a nice facade, hide the embarrassing stuff away, hush down, don't complain, don't debate, stay polite, all for the sake of keeping the peace. This goes for everything from the landscape to the people, making the country look surrealistic, literally too good to be true. That, the pressure to conform and stay in line, the limited options (almost everything is a monopoly or a duopoly) and the narrowness of mind of the locals can feel seriously stifling over time. Think US McMansion suburb, but with a better landscape and buildings.

It's a pretty good idea and a lot of people do this. Also gives you access to Swiss healthcare, one of the best in the world though expensive as fuck.

Stay in your own shit hole country.
Nobody wants to deal with murricans.

Poland, enrich this shithole please.

I've heard good things about Poland

Come to Portugal

How much does a software developer make 'round those parts?

How is Spain?

go to bosnia its probably the next place with a revolution

I'm of Spanish descent so I can jive with there. Are you on the euro?

Utrecht is a paradise on earth. Bongland is a hole with declining cultural fun (although maybe if Jezza comes in you should come here). Scandivia or Germany probably best bet

i wanna go to europe too, i took german in high school what do

why are brits called bongs I've never understood the reference. In the US a bong is for smoking weed is that where it comes from?

shouldn't you have learned european instead?

hello newfriend

I read that as fetlife group for anarchism and got my hopes up for the moment.

More like ethnic seperatism. If you want a revolution go to Greece.

Are you nuts? There's already 20k americans in this country. We don't need more REEEEE

Denmark - the two largest parties are SocDems and Libertarian so there is a lot of disagreement. The country area is more left wing where as cities are more right wing. College and healthcare is free. You also get paid to go to college. Around 3800 dkk a month. It can vary though
Overall pretty comfy

Classic

OP I'm definitely googling this. By libertarian do you mean like traditional libertarian or ron paul style libertarian? I thought libertarian still meant left wing in Europe

They're called Liberal Alliance

It's not that bad.
You won't be able to afford a flat in Paris ever, so forget it anyway unless you want to live in a shitty suburb and spend 2 hours in traffic to go sell your labour-power everyday.
Lyon is a nice city, fairly large but not too big, has pretty nice sights and alternative music venues, and isn't too expensive. I lived 3 years there for uni and had a great time.
I've also heard good things about Toulouse and Nantes, even though I've never spent more than a few hours there.

The thing is that we have the same kind of problems that you have in the US : increasing unemployment paralleled with rising costs of living (especially rents) and a global dismantlement of the welfare state.
In countries like Germany or the UK where getting a job is easier, low wages unadjusted to inflation are the main issue for people who aren't very qualified or experienced.
It will probably be harder for you to get something good out of the job market if you don't speak any other language than English too.

If you are still prompt to come here, from what I've experienced or heard :
- I fell in love with Hamburg when I've visited it. The only problem is the expensive rents but otherwise it's like Lyon on steroids. I wish I could live there.
- Berlin is bigger and have cheaper rents. I never visited it, but it's the European hip city. Costs of living are rising as gentrification accelerate, but it has supposedly a big international community and awesome cultural events.
- Utrecht is THE student city in the Netherlands and you can go everywhere in Randstad from there easily. Holland isn't my cup of tea but this is the city I would live in if it were, and I wish I spent more time there.
- Barcelona is likely better and more lively than Madrid. I believe they still have a big anarchist community. Spain is currently almost in the same situation as Greece though. If you feel revolutionary, go there, but be prepared to end up living in and defending squats if you can't afford to live in an apartment anymore.
- Prague is supposedly cheap as hell, pretty beautiful and was part of the Eastern Bloc, so it might be an interesting experience.
