#1 Shroeder's hung up on Socialist Big Government. He wants Europe to mold to the model. Like anything successful in business, nature, or other aspects of life, form follows function, not vice versa.

#2 The choice is the same for either Western Socialism or Asian Socialism, De Gaulle, Peron, Marx or Mao, etal. - the only way to stop the still-expanding USA hyperpower is to either destroy the USA, or suborn/control the USA. Else, is to let the USA rule the global roost and OWG -Leftism stands for nothing except politcs, advantage, and PC etc. anyways!?

#3 interesting comments fred (and others too :-)

solidarity applies across the board.
Oh the irony. Isn't it funny how the right way is always my way.

Be good little progressives and think the right way!

#4 .... in the reality of socialism, function has always followed the dictated form... otherwise its off to the pokey or living in the back alley.

#6 Strangely enough, Schroeder seems to ignore the many other alternatives.

One could be a continent of independent nations respecting free men, free ideas, and free trade. No need for centralized "political union" in order to reach such goals. Just tell people they are free, and protect them from the wolves (thieves, politicians, and Marxists).

It doesn't have to be the European Union of Socialist Republics, does it?

#7 They need legal authority to mandate loot transfers.
