current national level and regional level insititutions are just as corrupt as eu level institutions, if not worse. for example here in germany bribing officials isn't even illegal. i have no idea what makes you believe otherwise.
yeah if you keep being defeatist, talking down all efforts. thanks. t. porky
how so? right-wingers are definitely much more powerful and influential, but that's because they have banks and lobby groups. yet there's a small leftist faction, which could grow much larger if voters decide so, nothing is preventing that.
Julian Richardson
the EU itself has to go, but i wouldn't discard an EU like thing for future communist countries, except instead of having a giant trade agreement we just have one gigantic economic plan
Eli Cruz
i never implied that, you stupid child. go fuck yourself in your echo chamber. and please stop relating yourself to lenin. you are the type of fool who would have ruined his efforts.
Landon Lewis
In Germany you have a government which depends on winning parliamentary elections. The EU institutions don't give a fuck how the EU parliamentary elections go.
It wouldn't matter how big it was because the EU parliament has very limited powers.
Camden Robinson
what makes you think that our national institutions give a fuck about how the elections go? there was not a single change in politics since 1945.
you think our national parliament has more power to actually change something than the eu parliament? you are deluded.
Kevin Bell
The EU is structurally capitalist with its Charter of Fundamental Rights which includes private property and its system of checks and balances which ensures you can never touch Porky's property. You can no more reform the EU than you can reform single bourgeois states.
Josiah Jenkins
So you think neither matters, and reform is impossible at either level? That isn't what you were saying earlier:
Kevin Morales
The point is that the European Parliament has less powers within the apparatus of the European Union than the national parliaments have within their respective states. For example, the European Parliament cannot even propose new "laws" (regulations, directives, etc). You can stop saging now, you double nigger.
Carter Turner
You are incapable of making an argument. Participation in bourgeois politics is to be used as a scalpel, do it when it offers prospects, not as a means to sell out everything you believe. I don't think I would have opposed Lenin in anything he did. Clearly you just confuse political activism with Clintonite talking points.
I even said I would appreciate commie parties in the EP, yet you still attack me for wanting the EU gone? Kill yourself you stupid motherfucking scumbag.
Oliver Hernandez
i think both are equally corrupt. if you never even try you will never achieve anything, including the special snowflake blend of marxism that you believe that is the only one that is not revisionist. there is a leftist faction in brussels which brings together leftists from different eu member states in the eu parliament and they enjoy all the same rights as the right-wingers. nothing is stopping them in terms of legislation to grow larger and become a challenge to the right-wingers/liberals/reactionaries.
what strikes me is how people can be so naive to believe that dismantling the eu and going back to only nationalist governments would bring more democracy, better living conditions for workers and better political opportunities for socialists and communists inside of the nation states instead of bringing back old-fashioned imperialism i.e. less democracy, less worker's rights and all the other bullshit imperialism entails, including large scale war (after brexit it took the brits just 2 weeks to threaten eu member spain with full-scale war over gibraltar!) within europe. some might even believe that dismantling eu institutions would disturb international networking of nationalist corporate elites and aristocrats. it would not, because their networks don't need the eu, corporate lobby networks are private networks and will continue working against working class interests the same way with or without the eu. who do you think is forcing anti-eu sentiment? communists/socialists? nope. international corporations and oligarchs, particularly from burgerland, HATE eu regulations and want more freedumz. there i said it: the eu does something good now and then for europeans. you can call me revisionist and eurocommunist and whatnot now again. i'm quite disappointed with Zig Forums anyway at this point, with the other germans on here in particular. säge
