The European Union is in decline. In a dangerously manner. An Union that started as a Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) has transformed over the years into a broader trade, industrial, and banking cartel (EEC and EU), only to end up now as a war Union that undermines peace instead of promoting it, spending billions of euros on weapons and death, instead of social cohesion and life.

It is clear that the structure of this EU cannot be reformed, it must be overturned: It distorts the concept of peace to promote war, devalues our lives by turning work into insecurity and decent living into a privilege for the few, and instrumentalizes the environment, which, while claiming to save, it exploits opportunistically to promote Green Capitalism.

At the same time, the far-right, as the permanent and most reliable reserve of the exploitative system historically –the agenda of which is systematically adopted and promoted by the media and the mainstream parties throughout the EU– is being pushed as the so-called alternative.

The challenges we face ahead are enormous. Yanis Varoufakis, Stathis Kouvelakis, and Haris Golemis discuss them, analyze how we got here, and propose what we need to do, with a focus on people –the workers– and not on profit.
