      How relevant Helmut Kohl’s words are even today! A strong and unified Europe is the demand of the time.

      How ironic that the largest hurdle against any kind of political development within the EU is the french-german national conflict…

      I’m not very optimistic about this. Among history there have been many attempts to unify Europe, all failed.

      Just to avoid certain replies, I’m a bit Eurosceptic because I don’t think it will work, not because I wouldn’t like it to.

      In the second quarter of the 21st century the 19th century concept of the nation state is as strong as ever and there is nothing to signify that this may change. If Europe wants to keep it’s strong position in global politics then it needs to realise that the time of empires is over and trying to mold the European Union into another global imperialist power is not only going to fail but be a complete betreyal of every single virtue of european culture that led to the founding of the European Union. You cannot make an European empire, not under old banners, not under new ones. The sooner we accept and embrace the simple and unalterable truth that we are a community of free nation states the stronger this community will grow and prosper. The same imperialist abitions resurfacing now should have been abandoned two centuries ago, and the next best moment is now.

      Why would you want a federal Europe when you’re constantly fighting fascist garbage like chat control?

      Absolute truth. We need to stay (even more) united in Europe, otherwise the European nations will get dominated by the US, China and other upcoming economies, even more than it already is. Besides it’s the only way to stand up against BigCorp and BigBank.

      In the meanwhile every far-right party in Europe tries to bound with Putin with obsolete ideas related to nationalism and populism.

      How can Europe stay united if there are loads of Russian Trojan horses? Hungary and Slovakia are just the more vocal ones. EU countries still purchase natural resources from Russia and fund the war. There’s no united Europe, as each state pursues its own interests. The EU was created to prevent war within Europe by promoting the mobility of workers and goods for the common good, not undermining the concept of the nation-state.

      That is correct, as of now the EU is a hodgepodge of irrelevant states who think they still hold glory due to once being a big thing.

      As long as there are conflicting capital interests, Europe will never unite. Only the working class can unite Europe through the creation of European Council Republics.
