"Article 72. Each Union Republic shall retain the right freely to secede from the USSR."
rofl
So ... the USSR was more/as democratic as the EU?
Same thing right?
USSR, EU... both have similar structures.
And ways of doing things.
Of course ... the EU is a communist organisation, because communism = internationalism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proletarian_internationalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Internationale
no the USSR was more...free
@wacka Well, that article 50 was totally correct. You had public buildings at your disposal and you could use the radio. Just be sure to tune in the proper stations and really, if you get arrested, it's only your fault <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>
The EU isn’t communist silly
observe...
Nor is it undemocratic
Article 80. A Union Republic has the right to enter into relations with other states, conclude treaties with them, exchange diplomatic and consular representatives, and take part in the work of international organisations.
Article 81. The sovereign rights of Union Republics shall be safeguarded by the USSR.
Hue. Am silly. I am offended, gunna call 999 and report a hate crime.
the EU does not have an article 80
we cannot make our own trade deals
At one point, Czechoslovakia had a much better economy then the rest since inbetween wars it was like the fifth most developed country in Europe. The rest of Soviet Union couldn't catch up. Sooo they devaluated the currency overnight to like 30:1 and in larger amounts even more than that.
Don't forget how the Czechs tried to prematurely get rid of communism and then got fucking slapped.
Ummm ... the EU is NOT DEMOCRATIC ... and I quote Martin Schulz (former president of the EU parliament) for that as evidence. He once said "if the EU was a country applying for EU membership ... the application would have to be rejected due to lack of democratic substance." (my translation) https://www.welt.de/kultur/article119362024/EU-ist-ein-Mietshaus-mit-dreister-Erpresserkultur.html
Just look at how Ursula von der Leyen became president recently ... all BACK DOOR DEALINGS IN SECRET.
Right, yet it’s objective fact that we vote in free and open elections.
But yeh.
Well ... I am german ... so I tend to miss that.
And that the people we vote in as our representatives, have power to change the course of the EU.
You tend to miss a lot.
at least the USSR had multiple people on their ballots 😛
Article 95. Deputies to all Councils shall be elected on the basis of universal, equal, and direct suffrage by secret ballot.
this is almost the same as article 17 of the treat of the EU...
"Article 110. The Council of the Union and the Council of Nationalities shall have equal numbers of deputies. The Council of the Union shall be elected by constituencies with equal populations. The Council of Nationalities shall be elected on the basis of the following representation: 32 deputies from each Union Republic, 11 deputies from each Autonomous Republic, five deputies from each Autonomous Region, and one deputy from each Autonomous Area. The Council of the Union and the Council of Nationalities, upon submission by the credentials commissions elected by them, shall decide on the validity of Deputies' credentials, and, in cases in which the election law has been violated, shall declare the election of the Deputies concerned null and void."
lol

The judges keep telling this irish guy that everything he is saying it not relevant and he keeps trying to talk about it anyway xD
What is this Irish guy blabbering about?

When is the outcome decided?
Not for a few hours I suppose
Na, this is gunna go on for a while.
Could take a while. Today is the final day of hearings though
This next guy is saying the same thing over and over again, just in a different order.
