Banks First Is Always Banks Forever

The EU as a plutocratic/monetary project always depended on hyping while denying the EU as democratic/political project: Might as well face it, the EU as a democratizing project must smash the EU as plutocratic project. The seeming hopelessness of this aspiration is more than matched by the catastrophic failures of the alternate emphasis: Europe as a monetary but not political union is doomed to fail and has failed. If you are committed to trying the impossible why not try something impossible but also not evil this time around?
