EU Pluralism = Totalitarianism = Leftish Fascism!

We have now witnessed six years of the anti-democratic secret EU elite working to impose their "pluralism" on the diverse individuals who comprise the peoples of Europe. Time enough for those forced to watch in horror to give them their proper name - Fascists. Six years ago today on my blog Ironies, linked here, I concluded my posting discussing what pluralism might mean after noting its appearance in the Preamble to the Constitutional Document arising from the Laeken Convention as follows: As discussed back on 23rd February on this Blogspot Democracy or Pan European Totalitarianism the French tendency towards elitist government structures and their heavy influence in the Convention could lead to a conclusion that none of the straightforward, connotation free, dictionary definitions of pluralism are to be applicable in the Constitution. In politics pluralism can be taken as the view that power in modern LIBERAL DEMOCRACIES is, and should be, held not only by government but by a diversity of autonomous institutions and associsations representing various interests. (Definition from 'The dictionary of important ideas and thinkers' by Chris Rohman). Naturally enough all the so-called worthies who attended the various convention meetings or praesidium sessions would have been aware of that fact, but what of the ordinary citizen with limited research resources? How are we to understand exactly what is supposedly being done in our names. Pluralism as defined above is supposed to provide a harmonious balance between collectivism and individualism but critics, in my view correctly, charge that it is an unrealisable ideal because of the inherent power of the State which of course the new EU will inevitably extend. Interestingly it all leads back to Plato, Popper and more relevantly in this context the elite theory and Robert Michel's iron law of oligarchy whereby control of any political organisation will unavoidably devolve to a small group because of factors such as the need for efficient action, the leader's love of power, and the apathy of the followers. The democratic checks and balances that might serve to prevent such a situation occurring are of course completely absent from the proposed constitutional proposals, thus making pluralism the main objective of the new United States of Europe even more astounding. Six year of posting later those behind this outrage still remain hidden, twenty-seven former democracies with their Parliaments stand on the verge of destruction but there is one last chance for Europeans to register their disgust in the first week of June - do not waste it - total abstention from the European Elections would be the ideal response but is unrealistic, please make sure no sitting MEP in the European Parliament is sent back - that should do the trick!
