Any sort of nationalist momentum is completely wasted now, the energy completely sedated with a false victory

There is no way to really opt out of this as a single country. You're going to have to attack this holistically or provide a viable alternative for small states to opt in

Without it a state that genuinely chooses to opt out will just be a right wing North Korea, an international pariah

the EU has been a left wing political project from the start

i dont know how you can blame simply the actors and not the institution itself

And so have most nation states with constitutions

The EU is ultimately just amalgamating a bunch of states which are already flawed to begin with

It is left wing because its constituent parts are

Swap out the people in charge and the EU becomes a right wing institution

Otherwise every single time a national government fucks up to be consistent you would need to advocate secession
If this applies at all, it also applies to nation states

Germany is left wing, gues the GDR needs to return

America gets a blue government, guess red states should all secede to end the tyranny of Washington or whatever

thats pretty simplistic analysis

the EU as a political institution is recent

So is the nation state

It's not that old

modern nation states have been around for 300 years or more

anyway

Not really

the chalice is too poisoned either way

why not burn it to the ground and rebuild a different supranational european poltiical bloc

You could go with that but nobody is trying it right now and it'd be risky to be the first to try

So you'd need to wait for several right wing governments to come into power

i dont see a new EU emerging for a while after this one falls

Than coordinate them leaving

what i can imagine is a balkanization

And have the block be viable

UK becomes a US vassal (atlanticists)

more join the visegrad group

Visegrad group is entirely part of the Nato system

EU remains as germany and the scandis

Which would leave us way too weak

against who

russia?

china?

Germany and Scandinavian countries put together would hardly be relevant on the world stage and have issues forming a viable trade block

Nato of course

Visegrad is too sympathetic to America to ever leave Nato and ultimately remain part of the system

A Germany on its own would have a hard time

the EU was CIA approved from the start

lets not pretend like its so different from NATO
