“Il concetto di Stato nazionale del XIX secolo non ci porterà mai oltre la soglia del XXI secolo […] Abbiamo bisogno di un’Europa forte se non vogliamo diventare il giocattolo della politica mondiale” – Il Cancelliere Helmut Kohl

      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…

    3. Oh yes, we’re all rushing to be under Berlin’s rule again

      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.

      Even more of a valid point in the era of Xi, Pootin and Trumpolini

      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?

    8. 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.

      We have to be realistic, here. Ever since Brexit, we see posts like “now EU will be unified and stronger”. And routinely fails to be unified and stronger, it actually gets weaker. EU is a bunch of satellite states to the US, we are completely secondary in world history. Believe it or not that fallen empire known as Putin’s Russia is more o a power. Not to mention China. EU has had potential for a long time, but it’s a non-player because it’s divided with no prospects of unifying.

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