The only major difference I see is the ammount of obvious physical violence being applied by the "state". "There", it is more physical, "here" it is more subtle, intricate. In both systems the state (or "here" the EU) forces me to be at its disposal, subjugate to his rules (that state itself designs as desired and even breaks without being sanctioned), and makes policy against what I want (and many others want), and for the purpose of extending its own power over the individual human being. Both use violence.

I refer to Roland Baader, Hans Herrmann Hoppe, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, etc. Their criticism of the nature of state itself is essential, and crushing.

Worse, in the words of former German president Richard von Weizsäcker: "The political parties have made the state their prey." And he spoke these already in the 80s.
