Here is a clip of EU liberal hero, Guy Verhofstadt, calling for a European Empire.
And they said it was only Brexiteers who were obsessed with empire!
If you support a European Empire then - based on current form - what you support is more murderous economic warfare against socialist governments in the global south, and more arms sales to genocidal regimes like Saudi Arabia (the EU hasn’t even managed to ban these sales, let alone sanction Saudi).
Imagine how much more aggressive the EU could get once it is even more centralised, with its own military?
It seems highly possible that a United States of Europe could end up being similarly as violent and destructive as the United States of America has been.
Re Brexit, the UK can either be a servant of the US Empire, or a servant - with a bit of a say - of this burgeoning European Empire, (which itself is - to an extent - a servant of US Empire). Obviously the latter is the less shit option, but fuck me, the future looks bleak whatever happens! It’ll take mass movements throughout Europe to prevent this trajectory towards a militarised, imperialist empire. Is that remotely realistic?
We need to overturn the deranged and destructive economic system that is at the root of the imperialism, fast!
