  4. Rn, the EU is primarily a vehicle for neoliberal politics, managing the status quo. Until the EU is completely revamped, I see no reason to support further integration.

  5. FUCK THE USA!!!!!! NEW UNITED STATES IN TOWN!!!!

  6. “Only the United Soviet Republics of Europe can lead us to brighter tommorows”

    Yeah, no. Death to Red Menace.

  7. I think that the good thing about EU is that it in fact is not a single country. It can work very well the way it is right now, we just need good politicians in place to make the good decisions.

  8. George Orwell would have had tonsay something about that. When two tribes go to……..

  9. Well then, the declaration appears justified regarding the challenges that are presented. Let’s hear people that disagree and their arguments !

  10. Not a fan of the name. I think European Federation works just fine

  11. A foreigner, but very supportive of the (overall) idea. Good luck/Boa sorte!

    However, “United States of Europe” is a stupid name.

  12. War in the Middle East means we have to give up sovereignty? I don’t understand.

  15. Another think tank that’s pushing for open borders and importing cheap workforce from Africa / Middle East?

  17. No mention of migration as a challenge yet there is a mention of demographics as a challenge. I have a feeling where this is going…

  18. Sounds good but no mention about rethinking immigration policies unfortunately

  19. Putting aside any personal judgement on whether this would be a good or a bad thing in principle, it’s very obvious that it would be a monumental task for very bright minds to even IMAGINE a political system that can promise to work despite the language barriers and strong national identities of the member states, while convincing them to relinquish further power to an above-national level AND simultaneously covering all the potential issues that became awfully apparent across the pond AND in the existing EU framework.

    To spell it out: The existence of members with disproportional voting/veto power which are ALREADY prime targets for hostile internal and external actors to jeopardize the entire system through targeted corruption and exploiting the electorate through the disinformation age we live in.

    These countries have little reason to AGREE to giving up their disproportionate power, even if they’re not currently already political tumors like Hungary.

  21. Never gonna happen. Just look at what parties are gaining all across Europe. It’s the exact opposite side of the spectrum.

  22. The overal idea I am not against, but no way we call it the United States of Europe… We are not the USA (thank god)

  23. Fuck that, especially mentioning the conflict in the middle east when half of the EU supports the genocide

  25. Yeah nah, keep your empire building dreama to yourself.

  28. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this just a collection of federalist groups doing exactly what they always do and advocate for a federal EU?

  29. Maybe a confederation of European states would fit better?

  30. European union or european federation, i will never consider united states of europe as a viable name and its a hill im dying on

  31. Does anyone else remember this idea being branded as ridiculous and never going to happen during brexit.

  33. Oh great even more power into the hands of bureaucrats from ivory towers, more regulations, bans and bullshits.

    How about no.

  34. No thanks. It just makes it easier for one government to ruin the entire thing instead of just one country.

  38. The issue really is that the EU is undemocratic and no one votes for them at the highest level (European Parliment has no real power)

    So every EU citizen would need a vote and a key question should always be ‘how did you obtain your office? Who voted for you and can we vote you out?’

    Until that happens, its just a gravy train for unelected officials, lobbyists and vested interests and completely unsuited for any form of federalism or overarched sovereignty.

  41. Oh great, another redundant, hot-air-producing institution.
