What has the EU ever done for us?

Standardised our mobile chargers, for one thing.

This just in, via press release.

"The EU Commission and the mobile phone industry have agreed to create a common charger for all phones produced."

"From 2010 the Micro-USB will become the standard output design for; Apple, LG, Motorola, NEC, Nokia, Qualcomm, Research in Motion (RIM), Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Texas Instruments, phones."

"The Commission and the main industry players have agreed to settle the problem through self-regulation. The agreement commits the manufacturers to produce a standard charge output and ensure compatibility of new data-enabled mobile phones."

A recent comment on the market ideologues who support open borders and the EU:

"Hugh Brady in Wall Street Journal Europe treats with utter contempt the concerns of the British people about the EU. So dishonest is Brady that he describes the Lisbon Treaty, an EU constitution in all but name, as “not so much a Brussels power grab as a long overdue reform of the EU’s rules and institutions.”

Let’s put the picture together. The Wall Street Journal believes in a world of free markets and open borders. Therefore it denigrates the sovereign nation-state, which stands in the way of free markets and open borders. Therefore it supports the submergence of the nations of Europe in the EU, a transnational, bureaucratic, undemocratic entity run by an unaccountable elite. Meaning that in the name of freedom, the Journal supports the extinction of freedom. Meaning that the ultimate object of libertarianism or “economic conservatism” as represented by the Wall Street Journal is the subjugation of humanity under Leviathan.

In the larger sense, all ideologies that reduce the world to a single principle—whether that principle is individual freedom, or economic freedom, or sexual and expressive freedom, or equality of rights, or equality of wealth, or equality of cultures, or the supremacy of a culture or race, or Darwinian evolution, or material causation, or reason, or utility, or atheism, or God—must end as tyranny."
