Quote:advocate dissolution of the EU rather than looking to fix what is, in principle, as solid a concept as the US
Absolutely wrong - The EU, politically, has powers that differ significantly from the American system - The Federal government in the US has powers the EU doesn't have, and vice-versa - I would say that the EU's powers are much reduced in terms of influence compared to the USA's federal government. As for fixing it - That's something I'm still waiting for but I don't see many solutions.



I have an honest question for people who want a federation - How do you think this would work when the tendency is actually for regionalism like what's happening in Catalonia (Spain)? If those people don't even want to be a part of Spain, why should they be a part of a federation? What about Italian separatism and independence movements? Would every country be able to democratically say yes or no? What about countries like Switzerland that are not a part of the EU but find themselves in the middle of EU countries?
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
