European nonsense

After a long night “dinner” ending at 5 a.m., the European heads of state and government finally reached a “consensus” on the watered-down European “constitution”. Every leader wanted to salvage some peanuts from the negotiations to spin it as a major victory back home. The result is a collection of nonsense, which, if submitted to a vote, would be rejected by European voters.

Some parties in European countries argue against granting more powers to the European Union because it is a bureaucratic entity stifling the will of the European peoples. The European Union no doubt is a bureaucratic monstrosity, but the solution is not to preserve the nation states. They should be abolished, or to borrow the words of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, vanish from the map.

The leaders of European countries are petty merchants chasing a chimeric goal of ephemeral gains. Each and everyone of them wants to return home clutching some stupid imaginary brownie points.

The result is that the “glorious European Constitution” has become a rubbish heap of unintelligible nonsense. As Lenin used to ask “What to do?”. Very simple! Abolish the nation states, create a Europe of the regions, and start to issue European passports.

Alas, such a solution requires a small degree of vision and none of the leaders of EU member states even has a tiny nano amount of the vision required to make “it” happen. Until they manage to gather that tiny amount of vision, the peoples of Europe will reject their “solutions”, which amount to nothing more than tiny fig leafs of failure.
