It will be hard to get away from the eu either way, as its so important economically and leaving, as seen by the example of the uk is a nightmare. Additionally it is a great tool to prevent inner-european wars, as many of the eu programs work as shared investions. The main problems are the influential power of corps and the defacto control over the european countries and the partly cirvumvention of the countries constitutions. And the only cases where it cant control countries is when keeping the fash under control (hungary and poland). Also the thesis that the eu is just a tool of german imperialism (i would personally add most of the northern european countries to that) is quite strongly supported by evidence.
Overall the eu is a neoliberal shitshow, thats terrible for european democracy and is way to heavily controlled through multinational corps and can to easily cirvumvent national constitution. Additionally it suffers from the same problem as the un when it comes to keeping fash at bay, cause of single country vetoing being that powerful.
Whats great about the eu is how it lowers risk of armed conflicts in europe.
The main problem i see is, that its suicidal to leave as a single country. Another relevant thing is, that the only countries that are trying to leave are doing so because of nationalism, as there is nearly no powerful enough leftist euro-critic groups to really have relevant influence at all. So for now it looks more realistic to me to try and influence the way the eu works. Additionally though, we need to create an eu wide (or atleast in many countries at the same time) euro-critic leftists movement, so that when the times or need comes, a lot of countries can leave at the same time and instantly start a better alternative to the eu instead of suicidally solo-leaving.
Edit: plus, i dont want to return to nationalist europe at all, the risk for armed conflict would skyrocket and we dont need wars in europe, they'd destroy the economy and more importantly european relations for decades!
