The dilemma for most eurosceptics who oppose British integration into a EU superstate — that political chimaera which is finally being brought into being by the EU constitutional treaty — has always been the assumption that EU membership is a take-it-or-leave-it deal. Our European, ahem, partners have always made it crystal clear that you either sign up to all the terms of the euroclub or you get out. Those opt-outs the UK has previously secured — on the euro, for example — have met with fury because for the eurocracy there can be no halfway house. The UK's perverse attachment to self-government has always been perceived to be as incomprehensible as it is non-communautaire.
But I can't really see the Euros leaving it at that. What if we did say, "OK, we're out then". Do we think the Euros would just shrug and say, "Ok then"? There is a universal imperative in their religion that precludes peaceful co-existence and toleration of dissent. There can be no dissenters to the creed, any more than there can be foreign tissue in a body.
Melanie is right that there is an in-or-out mentality now, but the ultimate goal of 'cultural Marxism' or Gramsciism is total hegemony. Domination. Which means...what?
Robert Spencer says, "Islam is the only religion in the world that has a developed doctrine theology and law that mandates violence against unbelievers."
But if we remember that Marxism has many elements of religious faith and certainly concerns itself with the stamping out of rival creeds, I think that statement can be amended slightly. Islam is clearly not the only religion in the world that takes up arms against unbelievers. Ask Walter Ciszek
Certainly, the Marxist-inspired origins of EU doctrine match the Islamic imperative of total conquest quite well. And both require absolute obedience in religious matters.
What will happen then, because it is inevitable, when some country or group within a country says no to the EU, and means it?
There is some instinct deep in the English soul that resists enforced collectivism, so I hope that country will be us. The English don't riot nearly as often as other people, but they do every now and then, and (barring football hooliganism) the thing they historically have rioted about most often, the thing they are willing to resist by force of pitchforks and torches, is enforced collectivism. The English cultural imperative is one of free cooperation of individuals, an idea that is in opposition to the collectivising goals of the EU-machine.
Of course history also shows us, as in the case of the Tudor dynasty's vicious war on the native English religion, that they will resist for a while but finally submit. So it might not be us.
But whoever it is, what will the great ravenous maw that is the EU hegemonic project do when faced with determined opposition? It is easy to see that the manicured, coiffed and be-suited Euros themselves do not have any stomach for a real fight. But there is certainly group of people immediately to hand that most emphatically does.
Of course, we won't be there to see it, but it seems inevitable that the day will come when, having triumphed over their mutual enemies, they will turn on each other, but for the moment it seems perfectly clear that the two systems are using each other in a symbiotic relationship.
