Stupid amerimutt. Probably another anti-EU retard.

Ignore him. Not everyone here is that dumb.

Because Merkel was born in the Soviet Union.

Western style social democracy predates any practical "Marxist" system by a good 70 years
Sorry to burst your bubble, Cletus

The EU is a neo liberal institution. If it ever became socialist it would be through dialectical progression, not some insidious back room plot.

degenerate Fr*nchmen who wanted to be contrarians

Social democracy ≠ socialism ≠ the USSR

cringe and bluepilled

stop trying to explain this shit to anti-EU retards.

One of the first welfare states was introduced by Bismarck, with the backing of conservatives. He called it "practical Christianity".

UK has had socialized medicine since the 1950's, Donald.

fuck off back to /poll/

fuck of back to redit

ah yes the so called yank thread

Because any decent communist theory (i.e. not Third-Worldist Mao types who just want to BTFO whitey) states that in order for the revolution to succeed it must take place in an industrialised nation from which it can establish itself and export the revolution, not some backwater shithole like anything east of the Oder

>anti-EU retard
>anti-EU retards
You're an ever bigger retard than the OP is.
It's pretty funny how yanks on both side of any given equation are always such utter spastic mongs

The EU isn't socialist and it also isn't good.

>check Europe
>are the means of production controlled by the State?
>no
>call OP a retard

I’ve seen ex-Europoors call the EU a socialist institution, you aren’t fooling anyone

Because most countries are a socialdemocracy, which is just capitalism with a welfare State controlling key areas.
But there's no proletariat revolution, no overthrow of the burgeoisie, and no seizing the means of production, and it's arguably an older form of government than Marxism itself.

>a socialist institution
but it's not. it's a supranational institution hellbent on neoliberal "freedoms" at the expense of the integrity of the sovereignty of its constituent nations. It's not "socialist" just because we have first-world healthcare and you, uniquely, don't.

The EU isn't socialist and it's also not good.

Red and basepilled

friendly reminder that eurosceptics tend to be low iq retards

common eurosceptic retards:

brexiters
afd supporters
le pen supporters
italian populists
polish xenophobes

they actually are

Commies hate the EU

The European Union is the most pro-capitalist organization to have ever existed.

All commies I've ever talked to have praised the EU. They say it's important for communism

every anti-EU poster in this thread is so fucking stupid

>They aren't real commies
>they don't know what the EU is
We had more state owned companies with the "fascist", and more welfare too, and it was an anti-comunist regime, we had people deported and in jail because they were commies ....

Fascists are different forms of commies and nearly the same as commies

American education

USSR was neither socialism nor communism. We need a neo-paris commune

most of the eurosceptic crowd is clueless on how the European Union works.

>italian populists

They are stupid but also very patriotic. There are good and bad things.

>Hurr Sociaizm is when guberment has thing and doez ting!!!!!!!!!!!
God I feel bad for intelligent Americans that have to deal with these Southerners
Because you know this fag is a southerner and not a superior Northerner

>a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

Sounds like what every communist country inevitably became. Can you explain why or will you use the CIA as a scapegoat for everything that doesn't go your way?

You're probably right. I'm a northerner (and Democrat). I love the European Union.

Retarded Yanks

wtf? Since when is this North Korean whale hunting picture site infiltrated by EU-shills?

No, they're fucking stupid, they think that they are not like USSR and "THIS TIME WE'LL MAKE THE RIGHT SOCIALISM".

>dictatorial control
Chile had Pinochet,
Was he a dictator? yes, was he a commie? no, in fact was one of the failed experiments of the Chicago Boys
>every communist country inevitably became
You have also North European countries that are almost commies, for US standars, and aren't dictatorship and dictatorships that never could be autocratics ...

>failed
cringe.jpg

fact, economically was a disaster

You do know Pinochet expelled the Chicago boys after two back to back recessions.

>implying that wasn't the plan

I spotted the rural Republican retard.

I'm just for reference, and I hate the EU with a passion, it's just that calling them socialist is retarded. This is my political stance, although Conservatism should be 100% rather than 79%, and I am most definently not a Vegan
