Hey, I am just naive. Is the political vision of this community to make europe burn or to show europe is burning?

I also like the freedom of movement in EU, but thats not the only thing it does, its also a neoliberal organization created in opposition to communism, if we ever want socialism in europe EU must be destroyed

Destroy EU and then? I like the idea of socialism also, but it does not solve the problem of hierarchy. States naturally develop a political class. So all we need is a new just elite party?

Socialism does not completely solve the problem of hierachies, but it is a force counteracting hierachies as socialism would empower the masses, current system empowers the rich minority and thus reinforces the hierachies

Maybe some of you are familiar with Slavoj Zizek, I totally agree with him that the crucial question is: What comes after the revolution? He describes this often with the example of the movie "V like Vendetta". The movie ends with people rushing the parliament and so on. But we never know what happens next, he then asks for "V like Vendetta II".
