Hey, I am just naive. Is the political vision of this community to make europe burn or to show europe is burning?

I know its shit and all, but I feel like being over the limit of cynism, soo what do we do about it? I like memes, too. But do they change anything substantially? Maybe Unpopular opinion, but i like the IDEA of europe.

what is even a charitable take on the 'idea' of Europe or the EU though...I mean beyond the whole freedom of movement between member states..

I also like the freedom of movement in EU, but thats not the only thing it does, its also a neoliberal organization created in opposition to communism, if we ever want socialism in europe EU must be destroyed

Destroy EU and then? I like the idea of socialism also, but it does not solve the problem of hierarchy. States naturally develop a political class. So all we need is a new just elite party?

Socialism does not completely solve the problem of hierachies, but it is a force counteracting hierachies as socialism would empower the masses, current system empowers the rich minority and thus reinforces the hierachies

I mean, neither does your post. It's all just entertainment and time wasting until we die, my friend
