How does defending our countries limit democracy?
We have to stand together and have the military to uphold sovereignty otherwise there is no democracy.
how is anything we have a “democracy?”
capitalism is not democracy - and capitalism always keeps profit as its first goal. that includes ensuring people cannot rise up enough against it because they are swamped with debt and illness.
All corporations are inherentny autocratic
One man’s debt and illness is another man’s profit opportunity
turns out 300 million people in debt and illness is 6 men’s profit opportunity 😂

The criticism here is that the EU is decising for the member states what they can be in debt for.
I personally am a federalist so I don't care much about EU overreach, all the opposite, but this is what the article criticises.
