I still think it is possible, little step by little step, to advance a federalist and Social-Democratic vision of the EU, and gradually improve the severely flawed union we now have in order to build something better out of it. Is this naive? Maybe. But I also think it's the only alternative we have to the utter economic and social collapse of Europe. I'd rather cling to an unlikely utopia than resign myself to this nightmare.
I prefer to be naive instead of falling in the cynical pessimism that dominates in Europe nowadays. Such set of mindsets only drives to the precipice, in some countries in a more dramatic form than the others. My opinion is that decadence is inevitable in the set of Europe if we continue for this route. Also the problem is that socialdemocracy in Europe lacks of alternative proposals and it's in a state of shock and electoral weakness. There's a terrible lack of ideas in general and the short-term thinking dominates all the way. We should be conscious of this to see which is the way of exit. I'm not even very optimistic about the almighty Germany.
