Franglais, let me tell you this. I’m told old in the tooth to play silly buggers belief based ping pong with you. My previous experience was to mark political essays, not engage in this sort of nonsense. That has annoyed some people as they think it elitist, but it is what it is. So, as you can’t even tell me why we would want to give up British sovereignty for any benefits under authoritarianism that you can’t explain, let me leave it with this.
Politics is a strange creature and not everyone sees the world in the same way. It’s why a country such as N. Korea has the word ‘democratic’ in its title, which wouldn’t be democratic to us. As we enter extreme polarized politics, the definitions often change.
In Britain we see democracy as, ‘one man one vote’ or ‘a majority win’, but believers, or fanatics if you like, don’t see democracy in the same way. For them the cause and the end result is more important than how they get there. Just as Asians are susceptible to communism because of an ingrained cultural hierarchal system, it’s no coincidence that Europe produced the ideologies of Nazism and communism and now the EU – they all contain an elitist power structure.
‘Keep on voting until they get it right’, or second referendums, or treaties brought in by stealth are not the British idea of democracy and it’s very difficult to argue that it is when even the EU organization itself admits it’s not. In other words, what majority Europe see as democratic is authoritarian using British definitions.
All authoritarian regimes concentrate on a belief of what could be and not on the reality of what is. In trying to dissolve borders and create ‘Europeans’, the EU is no different from the previous attempts to socially engineer the perfect ‘Soviet man’, or an ‘Aryan race.’ Just as the Nazis and Soviet authoritarians tried to control their satellite countries, it too failed in the same way as the EU will eventually fail, or as the Soviet dissident Bukovsky stated on the EU: ‘I have lived in your future and it didn’t work.’ I’ll include his short video again for others, because he give an explanation of comparisons between what the EU is and what the Soviet Union was.
The English had a civil war to remove absolutism and produced a parliamentary system, the Europeans didn’t, but what Brexit exposed is the continuing elitism behind politics, in which the elite have again become more powerful than those they represent. So, it’s really a matter of how individuals perceive democracy and which is more important, the idea of keeping British democracy, or the EU project? Which of these European projects during the 20th century have ever succeeded? Why would the EU fashioned on the same power structure be any different? The danger now is that Britain abandons its former arms-length distance and throws in its lot with Europe and this time we eventually all collapse together.
I give links, videos and explain, basic easy to understand information that I intentionally keep simple, but it’s up to anyone to accept the reality of what the EU is, or continue to believe. Now you can say it’s all lies, nothing is true, it’s all right wing, but the Brexit referendum and the collapse of the main British political parties showed that the majority already know. You may continue to believe.
