Look who's knocking on Heaven's door!

BY John Damellos

Isn't it ironic? A group of Central European EU members known as the Visegrad Four (Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia) is ready to veto any Brexit deal that would limit EU people's right to work in the UK. These are the same countries that closed their borders to Syrian refugees a year ago and have consistently opposed EU efforts to introduce mandatory quotas for migrants. Yet, now in the post-Brexit era, they are afraid that their own migrants will not be allowed to work in the UK or that they will be treated unequally... 

Some useful facts

• In the Czech Republic, 90% of the population fear refugees and Islam. 

What a fucking excuse! So what should the Greeks say, who lived for 400 years under the Ottoman rule and yet welcomed 60,000 Muslim refugees... Anybody?

• Slovakia, Hungary are suing the European Union for forcing the quota system on the V4. 

Maybe we should sue them back for lack of European Solidarity... Yet, aren't these the same countries that are supporting Merkel's Stability Pact and Schauble's Economic Theology?

• Right wing extremist parties rise in Poland. 

Good news for the Russians... 

• Slovakia is only accepting Christian refugees... 

Yes but which ones? The Catholics, the Protestants, the Huguenots maybe? How about the Orthodox? How about we dissolve the European Union and create another Christian Empire?

Conclusion

And under all this BS, lie Imperialism and Capitalism and the Dictatorship of the State, the same old diseases of civilization, that thrive in the battlegrounds, the corrupted parliaments and the stock markets of the world, changing our lives, turning us against each other. 

And false dilemmas like... Hillary or Trump... Merkel or Chaos...

Globalization sucks. Fascism too.

BUT WE CAN SEE BEYOND THEM.

BEYOND THE BANKS, THE WARS, THE NUCLEAR ARSENALS, THE PROMISES AND THE LIES.
