Ideology-Driven EU Becoming Next Soviet Union
Friday, November 10th, 2006The European Union is rapidly approaching a state similar to ideology-driven totalitarian regimes, a former Soviet dissident and expert witness against the Soviet Communist Party warned last week in Brussels.
Speaking at the invitation of the United Kingdom Independence Party, Vladimir Bukovsky, 63, said the EU was a “monster” that must be destroyed before it developed into the next Soviet Union, the Brussels Journal reported.
“The Soviet Union used to be a state run by ideology. Today’s ideology of the European Union is social-democratic, statist, and a big part of it is also political correctness,” Mr. Bukovsky said in an interview with Paul Belien. “I watch very carefully how political correctness spreads and becomes an oppressive ideology…
Mr. Bukovsky said he gained access to confidential documents from the Soviet era in 1992, which revealed plans, dating back twenty years, to turn the European Union into a socialist organization. In 1985-1986 an informal agreement between Moscow and left-wing parties of Europe began to develop, according to Bukovsky, a plan that would see the Soviet Union “mellow” toward a social-democratic structure, while Western Europe would adopt a socialist structure.“Then there [would] be convergency,” said Mr. Bukovsky. “This is why the structures of the European Union were initially built with the purpose of fitting into the Soviet structure. This is why they are so similar in functioning and in structure.”
