Review of A Europe of Nations
by Markus Willinger
[...] Willinger’s new book, like his first, is an indictment of Europe’s current rulers written in the second person, as if addressed directly to them—an effective polemical device. In thirty-two chapters he catalogues the many ways in which the European Union has betrayed the interests of the nations it rules.We may begin with economics, since the masters of the EU think almost exclusively in economic terms—and view with incomprehension their subjects who do not: “No work in Southern Europe? Then the Southern Europeans should simply go north. Simply leave their relatives, friends, loved ones, homes, and roots behind.”
It was this naive economism which led them to believe that a common currency would guarantee unity and internal peace. It has, of course, done just the opposite. As a consequence of its high productivity, Germany is forced to subsidize less productive states in Southern Europe, rewarding them for their lower productivity. Naturally, Germany wants a say in how its money is invested in the South. Germans see the transaction as parasitism; Greeks see it as a violation of their sovereignty. Both parties are correct.
In Willinger’s words,
nothing damaged [European] unity more than this forced imposition [of a single currency]. As is so often the case, forced proximity led to mistrust, rage and conflict, at first between governments, and finally between entire peoples. We need to awaken the nations from their trance and disabuse them of the belief that someone else will take care of everything for them. This belief, this passivity which reigns today, is the reason for the rapidly progressing downfall of our continent.
Narrowly economic thinking also explains the Eurocrat’s endorsement of a Transatlantic Free Trade Agreement which, given disproportions in size, would inevitably result in decisions affecting Europeans being made in Washington, DC, according to standards not accepted by Europeans; e.g., “European consumer protection is often considered interference in the free market in the US.” The kinds of resentment created by the Euro will then extend across the Atlantic.
The perception of human beings as interchangeable units of productive capacity also lies behind such massive follies as the attempt to integrate Turkey into the EU and to remedy demographic collapse with mass immigration.
If you had your way, Turkey and presumably half of North Africa would have long since been part of the EU. [But] belonging to a civilization can’t be negotiated, nor can it be ‘decided’ by a bilateral agreement. Turkey doesn’t belong to Europe, doesn’t even want to. What Turkey really wants is to expand its power and influence on our continent. In every conflict of interest with the European countries, the Turks could mobilize the local Muslim minorities for their cause.
It is easy enough to understand what attracts foreigners to Europe:
They’ve recognized that there is a rich continent to inherit here with considerable possibilities for personal gain. But Europe’s wealth is something that must be earned and created anew every day by Europe’s peoples. If the Europeans die out and Europe is settled by people from elsewhere, Europe’s wealth will sink to the level that currently prevails in their lands of origin.
Willinger is putting his finger on what logicians call the fallacy of composition. An individual Turk or African can often improve his economic situation by moving to a wealthy European country. It does not follow that unlimited numbers of such people could improve their situation in the same way. As their numbers increase, and the native European share of the overall population dwindles, the continent’s productive capacity inevitably erodes.
Willinger also makes the important point that the integration or cultural assimilation of extra-European immigrants, commonly seen as the more moderate alternative to multiculturalism, is actually a redoubling of the insanity begun by immigration: “[First] you demand that we give up our homelands to foreigners, which you insist is open and tolerant. Then you demand of the immigrants from the East that they give up their culture and values to become like us.” Only deportation—territorial separation—is fair both to the immigrants themselves and to Europeans.
