The US is in the top of the hierarchy. Just imagine what would happen to the EU if suddenly the US stopped existing.
"Progressives" in US politics and Imperialism

They'd just start invading even more countries.

What's to stop a repeat of the USSR-Polish War in which the USSR was stopped which caused the formation of the Axis who then crushed the USSR even further.
You mean a repeat of World War 2 in which literally all of Europe turns Fascist?
Evan Flores
Possibly WW3.
Leo Carter
You are implying that the US is holding the EU back.. Are you serious?
Jose Cook
Fascism is gonna rise sooner or later either way. Capitalism's antagonisms will require fascism to defend against revolutions.
The difference is that in one case you have a fractucommunism that can be beaten by revolutions, while in the other case you have a more unified fascist front.
Caleb Cook
*a fractucommunism
Adrian Phillips
goddamn it. *fractured_fascism

You really think that the EU is sweet and innocent?

No, because they want other things besides just anti-war. You can have people who are anti-war across the entire political spectrum.
However, the devil is in the details and any regular progressive is not your friend, especially the twitter-brand liberals who make up the majority of the progressive movement. Each and every one of them will bend to social pressure due to the fact that they subsist as populists and not actually as strong tentpoles of the socialist left.
Cortez, for instance, has already flipped on the majority of her rhetoric, and she hasn't even been in office a year yet.
Anti-war is going to be the new talking point of the 2020 election, I guarantee it. Literally every wolf who was jerking themselves off at 9/11 will be stepping into their sheeps clothing for the elections to the point where I doubt the primaries will have anything but wolves in it.
If you want to have a politician with serious change,you're going to need a politician which will not back down on their socialist policies and has enough of a spine to tell the Democrats to fuck themselves if they try to Bernie them in the future. I don't think such a candidate exists in politics, yet.
