Simply put, Cronos is gas-lighting fascist.
2. Brexit isn't a question of globalism or not - it's about the UK belong to a club or not
Finally, it's the UK issue, this has no bearing on whether the USA should or should not be in a trade club - it already IS a trade club of its own (50 states) and the most powerful such trading zone in the world.
The Law of Unintended Consequences.
Also, the Bureaucratic Model...
communists share Clement Attlee’s visceral opposition to Euro-federalism and the surrender of our country’s sovereignty. To this we add a long history of opposition to the actually existing slash-and-burn capitalist economics that has stripped our country of productive industry and deprived generations of young people of productive skills.Don't mix this up with President Trump. Hellary may have won more % of popular votes (like Leave did) but president Trump won the Electoral college
It is precisely because we want an alternative to Britain’s crazily unbalanced and financialised economy that we campaigned for Britain to leave the neoliberal EU and in doing so free ourselves from the anti-union judgments of the ECJ, the restrictions on state aid to industry, the obstacles to public ownership and the drive to militarise the EU.
The EU is an irreformable instrument for impoverishing the continental periphery and the working people of each country to the benefit of a predatory class whose wealth increases with every one of capitalism’s succeeding crises.
Communists want a People’s Brexit. Unconstrained by EU treaties, single market rules and directives, a left-led Labour government could develop a worker-led industrial strategy; aid industry, invest in training, youth and jobs, social welfare, housing, education and health services; and take the transport, energy and postal service profiteers back into public ownership.

The EU's position has been clear - you can leave whenever you want. The UK is the one keeping on asking for extensions
The EU was built, precisely, in order to fight the perils and risks that globalism brings with it. which is why it puts up so many barriers to non-EU countries to trade with the EU countries. the EU supports the role of the nation state as we see in Estonia and Ireland
Ireland has more sovereignty as an independent state in the EU than Scotland has in the UK
What part of sovereignty does this break down? Answer with facts rather than emotions
It's the opposite of globalism - which is why the communists oppose it.
these are Alinsky tactics on your part. Are you sure you have forgotten this is FR, not DU?
It actually doesn't - individual countries in the EU have more rights than individual nations in the UK
Can you give one example from your point of view of this "taking away local representation"
Don't you even see this recent EU parliament as showing local representation? Farage in the UKIp had only 1 seat in the UK parliament but had 24 (and now 29) in the EU parliament. So arguably the EU parliament gives MORE local representation
Next, the rules are only allowed if approved unanimously by all 28 countries - that's pretty representative at the country level. And it needs to be approved by a majority of the EU parliament - at the smaller level
Break away from the false globalist statements about how this club is bad because it puts trade barriers to the world and opposes globalism
i've been here since 2001 and see many liberals like you. The DU is a better place for posting emotions sans facts

well. how about the size and shape of imported bananas? big news a while back because of the fascist eu rules.
eu is like a home owners association with a machine gun.
It only takes a minute to pick up on a fascist troll like you.
Let's point out the errors in just this one post of yours
1. "another lie you can leave" -- the UK was the one that asked for an put Article 50 years ago.
The UK called for Article 50 which gave a 2 year timetable to leave.
The UK could have left as it requested on March 31, 2019.
It did not -- the UK asked for an extension
The UK then asked for a further extension to October 31
At no point did the other countries ask the UK to extend - the UK has been begging to stay just a little longer, just a little longer.
As to "the globalist elites" -- Scotland voted 62% to remain - are you saying that the Scots are "globalist elites"? Heck, even in England 47% voted remain - does that mean you think that nearly half the UK's population is "globalist elite"? And what does that make folks like the Brexit party MEP Brian Monteith?
Bear in mind that the BP are frequently decried as “Nazis” and there is a lot of social bullying around being a leave voter as is typical for believing in anything right wing in many circles, which causes people to stay under the radar. Polls usually underestimate right wing sympathies.
Cronos is trying to redefine words which is a typical fascist tactic. The EU is globalist construct of the first order. It defines globalism. He is dangerous like the Big Brother in 1984.
To argue that the 27 nations should eliminate trade barriers for England-Wales is globalist
your stance is globalist, central_va.
No one reads your fascist globalist propaganda.
The poll apparently had the Brexit Party under other.
Its a bogus poll.
