          I really don't see what about the English people specifically is supposed to be so antithetical to socialism Marx lived in London ffs. Napoleon was a representative of the interests of the bourgeoise interests in France and created one of the first truly capitalist imperial states he was a French national hero nothing less nothing more. He literally installed his relatives as kings of conquered countries how is that socialist or progressive

          Europe should be separated the idea of a united Europe is deeply tied to fascism. Literally why is Europe something people think should be a single entity.

              A united Europe is an idea that has deep historic ties to fascist movements as well as the fact that the only thing uniting them really being race. It is a move away from national borders and into ethnic borders and would be bad

              if Europe had been one big nation it would have been easier for them to form and maintain imperial holdings and would have been bad for pretty much everyone on earth

                  Italians are white in Europe let's not bring weird American racial ideas into this. Americans don't even think the Spanish are white

                  whiteness is a made up concept of course but generally it has always included everyone in Europe with the exception of the Roma and other marginal groups and can more or less be defined as "of European ethnic origin"

                  There also isn't a shared culinary tradition. Italian food and Scandinavian food are very different more so than Italian and North African food
