When we talk about the European Union, we need to understand what the meaning of the Union really is.

Right now, very few think about that, but automatically repeat the political ideas of the time.

It is good, that the Commission thinks about the problems of our time, there is nothing wrong about that, I do it myself all the time.

But the idea of a federal government at the scale of the Federal European Union, is a vastly deeper and more complex architecture than the day to day issues we face these days.

What is a federal government?

A federal government is an organization, that tries to encapsulate the needs of the people of the Union. But more importantly, it is a system that aims at CIVILIZING the society that it controls.

As Rousseau says, we hand over our right to defend ourselves physically to the police, so that we are free of the right of the strong.

In other words, we need to think about the civilization that a federal government creates.

Are we humanistic, what is that, are we democratic, what is that?

We need to start on the deeper reflection of the very idea of the Union.

We can do that. In the US, the US were created by pilgrims, that wanted to create paradise on earth, an Eden.

Point being, that all the FUNCTIONS of government were supposed to be perfect. A perfect police force, and perfect government leading to the Eden on earth.

The Americans actually got pretty far, or is pretty far. They are able give people the dream of living in that perfect society.

Not only that, in many ways Americans live a great life.

Why, because they have kept on dreaming of a society that is perfect.

That striving of making a society that is truly democratic and truly humanistic is the tool to create succes.

G-d bless the will to do good deeds, speak well and have good thoughts.
