I am a bit confused. I see a lot of problems that the EU has. But it is so stupidly important to have a collective so we have a stance against other economy or military giants. Stuff like mandatory usb c, some environmental stuff, support of the Ukraine, having basically free trade and travel inside the EU, more wealthy countries supporting and helping economically weaker countries, GDPR (pain for devs, i know) and things like that come to my mind. I am aware there are a shit ton of problems in the EU, but I would not want to miss those above. The US would kick each country around like shit if we would not be united.
I sometimes feel like the left, which I count myself to, is just as populilistic as the far right. Its easy to bash on someone or a system that is flawed, but without the EU for example we would be fucked as well. Why not fight for a better EU? Why spend time and energy to divide again? Its not black and white as always I suppose
The problem is that the EU is an alliance of imperialist countries, not the fact that it is an alliance in the abstract.

the leftists who don’t do the reading (aka democratic socialists) definitely are.

Naw fam, you just disagree. If you accept that people are going to have different opinions and priorities and focus on working towards common goals you don’t need to worry about how ‘divided’ the left is. It can look like not commenting on memes telling people they are doing leftism wrong 😘
Die EU ist ein weiterer faschistischer Arm der USA
