    The EU is ready to go on the knees before the USA on a whim (see Von der Leyen with recent tariff talks.) 💀

    At least the concept of the EU in the sense of a common economic area and a union of peoples isn’t as grotesque as that of the "U"SA. Still, the EU is rotten to the core since it’s very foundation is built as a union of financial capital…

      Aye, anyone who can be blind to the truth of the EU after it deposed the Greek government and imposed austerity across southern Europe is not a person with sense.

      It is a project of Capital. Not one that works for the people, not even those of Germany or France.

        Hard agree, though I would argue that EU has it’s own imperial core and that the people there benefit a lot from those circumstances (compared to the (internal) imperial periphery), a labour aristocracy of sorts.

        But OFC the average working people would be better off without the EU

          Yes, certainly there are many people in the EU that benefit, but for most of them that’s a side effect of the choices capital makes for how it runs it.

          The system itself doesn’t care about Human Resources managers in France. Regardless of what Jean-Luc and Laura think.
