Maybe think just 1 step ahead: is the far right going to not do that or do worse than this?

they often strife to abolish the EU, which is highly desirable for every citizen

Yes, Europe before the Union was a wonderful and peaceful place....

Socialist?? The EU is still primarily a neoliberalist institution, I can't think of a single socialist reform it upheld. It's all about enforcing privatization of what wasn't yet and fostering economic competition among its members. Are you just throwing words you don't understand?

Regional development, common agricultural policy, European social fund... There are many things that could be considered a bit socialist. All the directives regulating business, competition regulation too... EU is not really classical liberal or nationalist.

There's absolutely nothing socialist about the EU, unless you don't know or understand what "socialism" means...

I think it's more the Nordic countries which are seen as socialist; the EU as an institution is the kind of light-touch, states are sovereign, "fundamental rights and trade only" focus that Republicans seem to wish the USA federal government was.

Sorry, what? No one ever says “Socialism can work” when “something good happens”. You are American aren’t you

I think somebody has trained ai_what's model on my old right wing uncle's thanksgiving dinner rants.

I have never ever before in my whole life seen anyone, either online or offline, under any circumstance, seen someone point to something good the EU did and claim it as an example of socialism working. It's simply not socialist.

and considering the examples you cite, that's obviously a good thing, despite the fact that for most americans 'socialism' aims to be a scarecrow word.

Having implemented social policies doesn't make the EU States socialists... You should do some reading and learn the differences
