The "EU" is different than "Europe". It has become a technocracy of the 1%

12. The Eu are attacking all those things

They have destroyed unions, privatized health care, the Universities, and eliminated pensions. The fact that those things still exist doesn't mean the Eu caused it. It is like saying that if someone with a bunch of leeches on their body still has blood that the leeches produced the blood. The Eu as an institution is not savable because it mandates austerity. It also mandates bank control over monetary policy, rather than democratic control. Keynesiaism is against the law in the EU. It is illiberal as hell and can not do anything but destroy whatever social democracy is left, because that is the way it was designed. The fact that it's opponants are nationalists doesn't not make it progressive. Libertarians are globalist too, and sure as heck aren't progressive in any way. I don't support free trade that destroys labor regulations and environmental regulations. Don't claim that is liberal in the American understanding of the word. It is liberal in Eu understanding, which is more like Peter Thiel.
