The fact that the EU is a voluntary coalition does not at all stand against the fact that many member states have been seeing fascist upswings, and that all depend on imperialism and neocolonialism to function.
Basically, lol
"Nazi state"
Looks inside
Contains 27 states, most of which are not nazi-run
Completely and utterly stupid.
Many of them have fascist movements either in power or coming to power, and all rely on imperialism and neocolonialism.
How do you explain that many reuropean right-wing parties are pro-Russia?
Russia tends to be critically supported by the left, while being admired by the far-right for having hard power. The far-right like Russia for being a capitalist power that cracks down on the LGBTQ community, while the left critically supports it in undermining imperialism and neocolonialism.
"Many of them" "Either in power or coming to power" "Rely on"
The claims have changed so much it seems that you also disagree with the meme at this point.
If you felt the need to add all those qualifiers (not wrong, btw), then it's clear that you wouldn't describe the EU as an "imperialist nazi state" either.
I would not communicate OP's broader point the same way, but I wouldn't go so far as to say I disagree with it. The EU is a coaliton of right-wing imperialist states, this is true. Russia isn't imperialist, while Ukraine is a tool of imperialism much like Israel.
