It changed the game and made each member state subservient to the European Commission which has the absolute whip hand over the candidly pathetic European Parliament, a paper tiger if ever there was.
Like I said, it's changed the boundaries of its original purpose (or conveniently reinterpreted) in order to gain autonomy as a superstate to counter the US, China etc. Post-war the idea was that it would be a US puppet, which it was. I guess being a US puppet is preferable. You prefer an illusion of freedom?
But I'm still trying to work out the link to marxism.
