The end of nation states? Germans seeks EU federalization
Imagine a Europe with no dissent. Imagine a large imperial powerhouse, commanding all of Europe. Imagine a Europe with the a single military force immediately ready for mobilization at a moment’s notice. Imagine a Europe wherein one centralized economic powerhouse dictates foreign and domestic policy without any pesky deliberation. If this brings to your mind Imperial Rome, you’d be wrong, but not all that far off the mark. It’s the new federalized Europe envisioned by France, Germany, Spain, the Swedes, and some others.
