Did you know that the removal of international tariffs and restrictions on international is actually beneficial to free market capitalism? The European Union is aimed at increasing competition in the international marketplace to increase efficiency and strengthen the region economically. You've... got it backwards. Restricting international trade is communist... not the converse.
"American welfare is no where near as encompassing as the benefits provided
by European socialist welfare states. The benefits they provide more than
anything encourage unemployment. Example being Germany where unemployment
is preWWII levels." So, you agree that we provide welfare which is a socialist system. Thanks for proving my point.
"Pffft the member nations of the EU are mostly Socialist, and Socialism is
the stage before Communism." Slippery slope fallacy, and if you are going to apply this fallacy to the EU then you have to apply it to America. Also, since Germany was communist and is now socialist... a more accurate description would be to say that they're on the slippery slope towards free market capitalsim. Which would also be a fallacy. Game. Set. Match.
There is no slippery slope. It's an obvious change. Over the past 50 years Europe has slowly been moving towards communism. Slowly is the key. It's not going to happen quickly, but it will. Undoubtebly it will. Not because economic forces drive it there, but more over one has to remember the various other influences on Europe. As the EU ratifies its constitution, we will likely see nationalist movements within the nations flare up, counter revolution from the left will follow and likely succeed.
"There is no slippery slope. It's an obvious change. Over the past 50 years
Europe has slowly been moving towards communism. Slowly is the key. It's
not going to happen quickly, but it will. Undoubtebly it will." In your opinion. Communism is actually, if people weren't opportunists, the second fairest system of distributing welfare (where welfare is the economic idea, not the program), with utilitarianism being the fairest.
Everything else in your post is purely, 100% speculation. Speculation means nothing, and it leads me to believe even more strongly that you're using speculation to justify your claims of the slippery slope rather than actual statistical evidence, so you are undoubtedly commiting an obvious fallacy. "Over the past 50 years
Europe has slowly been moving towards communism." Actually it's been moving slowly towards where it is at this moment.
