To be fair, the EU is the only democratic alternative since they have enough size, strength and influence to not just resist outside influence, but also to project influence. Latin America is too disunited and the African Union is not at that stage yet to be as influential as the EU. For Asian countries, they are too insular and tribalistic to form their own regional bloc that is strong enough to resist outside influence.
Why would I ever be fair to imperialists? The EU exists because Europeans looted the rest of the world until infighting became a genuinely destructive threat to their ability to continue that way of life. There is no altruistic element in its existence, it is to secure the interests of a capitalist and imperialist system. You are uncritically accepting an imagination of democracy that is built around those interests. Anything that isn’t advantageous to them is “undemocratic.” The enslaved people who they subsist on don’t get a vote, neither do the people who live in the ecosystems European companies pollute.
Hmmmmmm I wonder why it’d be so difficult for people in the global south to organise and assert their best interests. Maybe there’s say, a historical system of oppression that depends on their subordination and disunity to exist HHMMMMMMMMMMMM.
The EU is evil, I do not accept imperialist definitions of progress.
You are so full of shit. Tell me one other power in the world who upholds the agreements that they sign. Be it the decleration of human rights, to the paris agreement, convention on biodiversity, or pollution standards. Tell me how these are beneficial to the capitalist imperialist elites.
There is no slavery in the EU. You seem confused. EU offers asylum to those who escape slavery. Because of human rights, even in the face of rising fascism. Because they have signed it, and they believe in it.

Could you please cite the human rights agreement the EU is a part of that allows slavery?

Are you in the EU or from the global south?
Would I have to be to have my degree validated?
