I fear there will be bloodshed if the EU presses on on this course and politicians continue to betray and to rape their own people. It will and must be like that then, when things cannot be stopped and changed otherwise: then I accept the last option of a violent revolution, yes. The bloodshed will then come not from inter-national wars (which are too expensive as if European nations could wage another world war) , but revolutions and uprises. A form of collective self-defence it would be, then.

But I have no idea what would come after that: better - or even worse? Historians often say most revolutions ate their own children and led to conditions similiar to or worse than the establishement that got overthrown by violence. There are, however, exceptions.

Yesterday I read an article somewhere that referred to an Amerian historian who pointed out that the Americna currency needed 150 years until it was fully accepted and embraced and supported beyond dispute. Europe does not have 150 years. After even just ten years we literally already hang at each other's throats. America also did not have China and the Brassil and India and the othger rising powers sitting on the fenceline - rivals that make the situation even more urgent for Europe today. America also never had the kind of centuries-deep rooting nationalistic sentiments and local traditions that characterise Europe for the better and worse. And there have been attempts in European history for international currency unions with lesser players than today. They all failed so far, sometimes indirectly leading to war.

No matter what will come afterwards it is a clear fact that those in power will have their own best interests at heart above the interests of their people. There will always be poverty, there will always be rich people. The only difference in political systems is the quantity of either.
