Supporters of a new world order—including media institutions, political elites, and globalist advocates—often portray the European Union’s constitutional framework as a triumph of democracy, human rights, and minority protections. However, the stark reality is that the EU’s constitutional foundation was imposed in direct defiance of its own citizens, overriding democratic referendums and national self-determination within its member states.
A fundamental distinction exists between the constitutional principles of the European Union and those of the United States. The U.S. Constitution begins with the powerful declaration, “We the People,” affirming that government derives its legitimacy from the consent of the governed. In contrast, the EU’s constitution, as shaped by successive treaties, begins with “His Majesty the King of the Belgians,” symbolizing its aristocratic, top-down origins rather than a foundation built on popular sovereignty.
The EU’s Contempt for Democratic Mandates
From its inception, the EU demonstrated a blatant disregard for the will of its people. National referendums rejecting various EU constitutional frameworks were either ignored or rebranded under different treaty names to circumvent public opposition. Rather than respecting democratic mandates, European elites imposed a supranational structure designed by aristocrats, technocrats, and lifelong bureaucrats—individuals whose interests are inherently tied to centralizing power and eliminating national autonomy.
This governance model is not an evolution of democracy but a direct inversion of it. Much like authoritarian regimes of Europe’s past, the EU is built upon the premise that power should reside with an insulated ruling class, not the electorate. The European Union’s formation was not a product of democratic consensus but a strategic political reorganization from above, using legislative loopholes to subvert national self-determination.
A System Designed to Bypass the People
The EU’s legislative power is concentrated in the hands of an appointed European Commission, an unelected body of career bureaucrats who wield supreme authority over European legislation. Unlike traditional democratic systems, where laws are debated and enacted by elected representatives, the EU grants its executive branch a monopoly on legislative proposals, ensuring that critical policies originate not from the people but from entrenched elites.
In any truly democratic society, such unchecked, unelected power would be unacceptable, yet the EU’s constitutional framework was deliberately crafted to make these officials untouchable by national elections. By shielding its ruling class from electoral consequences, the EU has institutionalized a permanent bureaucratic aristocracy, unaccountable to the very people it governs.
Supranationalism as a Means of Control
This forced Europeanization of formerly sovereign states is not about unity—it is about control. The EU's governing structure has eroded national identities and democratic institutions, replacing them with a centralized, unaccountable power structure that resembles historical regimes where bureaucratic elites ruled without public consent.
The European Union is, in essence, a fanatical experiment in supranationalism, where the ruling class is detached from the citizens they claim to represent. The project is less about cooperation and more about ensuring that the levers of power remain firmly in the hands of unelected, lifelong bureaucrats at the taxpayers’ expense.
Democracy vs. Technocratic Dictatorship
When given the choice between democracy and autocratic bureaucratic rule, the EU has consistently sided with the latter. The European Union is not a governing body that exists to serve its citizens; rather, it is a political mechanism that exists to perpetuate itself, concentrating authority while stripping power from national governments and individuals alike.
In essence, the EU is not a union of democratic nations but an authoritarian construct, designed to subjugate sovereign states under a ruling class that answers only to itself. Its policies, constitutional structure, and governance mechanisms serve as a continuation of the centralist, bureaucratic governance that has plagued Europe for centuries.
A Stark Contrast: The EU vs. the United States
- The U.S. Constitution was designed to empower the people and restrain the government.
- The EU’s constitutional framework was designed to empower the government and control the people.
This distinction is not just theoretical—it is a reflection of two entirely different visions of governance: one rooted in individual liberty and one entrenched in bureaucratic dominance.
The citizens of Europe, like those in any free society, must ask themselves: Who truly governs us? A government of the people, by the people, and for the people? Or a government by elites, for elites, at the expense of its citizens?
The answer is clear. The European Union, under its current framework, is nothing more than an autocratic governing entity, continuing the long and unfortunate European tradition of centralized, elite-driven rule—a system that history has repeatedly shown to be a threat to liberty, prosperity, and national self-determination.
