Re: Democracy is the opiate of the masses.

[Durant]

I agree totally with what you say the EU is about.
It is the sign of a next stage of capitalism, as you say,
fighting it, seems to me, is as futile as the Luddites
attacking machines. The unification of the USA happened in
the name of its fledgling capitalism, too.  

It turned out that the the best way to fight capitalism is
a united and goal-conscious working class.
That working class contains highly educated if
unconcious (!!) masses now, especially in Europe. 
What other - democratic - ways are there?
Global integration will be necessary in the interest of
using all our resources in a coordinated and sustainable
manner for the satisfaction of the global population
and even combating cosmic dangers such as asteroids...
... once it stops being a profit initiated progress.
