The Comission president is from the CDU, a right-wing party.

The Parliament president is from the Maltese Nationalist Party, a right-wing party.

The Parliament has a right-wing majority.

Where are those scary socialists?

Though I suppose if you're at the very extreme right, even moderate right wing starts to look like left wing extremism.

I haven’t moved one iota in decades, it’s the right wing parties that have moved to the left. If that puts me at the extreme, what can I do.

A left-wing party might even argue towards workers owning the means of production.

The CDU argues in the interests of established capitalists, you know, the thing that the right-wing does.

So you can either define yourself as right or left but you still feel persecuted by the EU. Meaning someone is tricking you so you will keep fighting. Good news you too might actually be on the same side, the loosing one.

Live long enough and you will have seen the full inversion of the right and the left or what they pretend to fight for.

The EU institutions have been labeled as hyper capitalist, hyper liberal or a new instance of the soviet union since their inception. I tend to believe all of those can be true at the same time.

While being unabashedly pro-capitalist, it's still roughly pro-consumer and has greatly increased cultural exchange between constituent states It's definitely better than us being 27 isolated countries in this scary world.

Maybe one day we'll manage to actually do the socialist takeover that the other guy was fantasizing about, but I'm not holding my breath.

Let's start right now. Give me the 7 figures you made in the US.
