One more experiment comes to an end, leaving behind anarchy and ruin. The EU-SSR elite has destroyed prosperous countries just in a few decades – ironically, they’ve achieved even more than the geriatric Soviet elite.
After the Brexit and recent attacks against migrants in Britain I can’t get rid of deja vu feeling. As if I’ve already watched this movie a quarter of a century ago. I know its end and it’s not a happy one.
In the summer of 1989, the Lithuanian Sejm decided to withdraw from the Soviet Union and establish Lithuanian laws in the country. It was the beginning of the end for USSR - a giant corrupt monster, which for 70 years bullied the world and its people under the pretense of communist ideology.
Intimidation and sanctions could not prevent the collapse. Fabricated artificial entity, thoroughly impregnated with falsehood and lies, fell apart like a house of cards.
It came out of the clear blue sky, but the collapse was inevitable due to the very nature of the "Red Empire" - as was the inevitable disintegration of the EU.
Set aside the scenery and the nuances. Without a doubt EU’s bright and vivid facade does not resemble the meager greyness of the Soviet entourage. Of course, the EU hasn’t the power, assertiveness and strict centralization that USSR had. However, supporting structures and the foundation were made from the same materials with the same guidelines.
One can easily find numerous and fundamental similarities between these two entities.
The Soviet Union created a planned, controlled, and unsustainable economy managed by bureaucratic apparatus. The EU did the same, has tried to regulate economy artificially. USSR has redistributed wealth on an equal basis - the EU has been wasting money on benefits to those who refuse to work.
The USSR and the EU had imposed artificial universalist ideology on their people that promised a paradise on earth for next generations. In the USSR it was called Communism. EU calls it "postmodernism". Using this slogan: "Let's denounce the old world!” - soviet apparatchiks, similarly to the European bureaucrats, drove their people to hell.
The USSR created a huge bureaucratic machine, dictated ideology in all spheres of life - from politics to theater, architecture and fashion. This bureaucracy was completely cut off from the reality and the citizens. The same happened in the EU.
The USSR instituted most severe censorship with persecution of dissidents. By subjugating governments, national media, the Academy and the judicial system the EU has established a cultural totalitarianism. The pursuit of dissidents has been more sophisticated, thus more efficient, veiled by concepts of "tolerance", “human rights” and “cultural diversity” - a devil invention.
The Soviet Union cultivated a new "formation of people" - "Soviet people". Like the unskillful Gnostic Demiurge, the EU cultivated "post-modern people" – consumers without roots, values and moral compass, unable to see the difference between good and evil, fact and fiction. In order to create a "Soviet man", the USSR deliberately carried out the migration of nations, while destroying homogeneous historical communities and arbitrarily creating alien enclaves in the social body of other republics: Ukraine, Baltic States, Moldova, the Caucasus and in Central Asia. The EU has intentionally flooded its countries with masses of migrants from Third World countries and Muslim countries to destroy national cultures - labeling the process “multiculturalism”.
Communists created fussy, worthless and senseless art of "Socialist realism", symbolized by the "Worker and Kolkhoz Woman". Postmodernists invented infantile “postmodern art” with the cult of primitivism, rafting archaic forms, meaningless set of sounds and wall paintings.
USSR intimidated its people with the threat of nuclear apocalypse to distract them from poverty. The EU frightens Europeans with environmental apocalypse; promulgating doubtful ideas about global warming by suppressing the real threat of global terrorism, the clash of civilizations and the collapse of the national states.
The USSR drained the resources of wealthy republics - the Baltic States and Ukraine - to feed the weak, unproductive South. The EU doesn’t fall behind.
USSR treated the Jews with the “fifth column”, regardless of their contribution to science and medicine. The EU has betrayed the European Jews while obstinately undermining Israel, despite its contribution to science and medicine only to appease Muslims. The USSR had created the "Palestinian people" and the PLO, turning "anti-Zionism" to ram through its "anti-imperialist" policies. The EU has turned the creation of "a Palestinian state" into "the sacral dogma" of foreign policy, ignoring the geopolitical reality, Islamic fanaticism and the Middle East chaos.
USSR has been limitlessly and greedily wasting resources to feed the various regimes until it had ultimately collapsed from exhaustion. In its greediness and unscrupulousness, the EU is infinitely expanding by association with Turkey, North Africa and the Caucasus.
USSR had dispersed the miasma of its pseudo-ideology throughout the world under the pretense of "fighting for the freedom of peoples" and "social justice." The EU is operating in a similar manner.

Wasn’t it a cruel mockery of History when the European Union that was on the verge of collapse virtually awarded itself the Nobel Peace Prize, as it was done by senile Soviet leaders?
I’ve claimed that I know the end of this "movie". At first, the collapse will occur alongside the borders of "Pink Empire" countries. After that the very fabric of the social organism of the countries will start to decay. Alien and hostile enclaves already exist in European cities in form of extraterritorial “Sensitive Urban Zones” with laws of sharia or clan and tribal law codes. They will expand and become quasi-states inside states. The territorial entity will appear in Europe similar to Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabakh, Transnistria and Chechnya, the republic of Donetsk and Luhansk Republic. In the former USSR these entities got the support of Russia. In the EU they will get support from the giant Islamic world.
Timeworn grievances will flare up, the body of the crumbling “United Europe” will be covered with ulcers and bleeding wounds. European states (including perhaps new ones such as Scotland, Catalonia, Wallonia and so on) will have to regain power with force, to declare a state of emergency, to carry out repressions. Dictatorship will be the alternative for chaos and it will be the end of democracy. “Bellum omnium contra omnes” ("The war of all against all") will bring Western Europe back to the “Social Contract” of Hobbes, i.e. to voluntary tyranny. Ironically, hundreds of thousands of migrants will become victims of “multiculturalism”.
The elite will either flee or will “adapt”, like Soviet apparatchiks after “Perestroika” who became oligarchs and Orthodox nationalists.
One more experiment comes to an end, leaving behind anarchy and ruin. The EU-SSR elite has destroyed prosperous countries just in a few decades – ironically, they’ve achieved even more than the geriatric Soviet elite.
