In reply to the discussion: How the European Union Turned Into a Neoliberal Nightmare [View all]pampango
(24,692 posts)25. Control by "elitists and the wealthy" is indeed what needs to be resisted whether they are at
the national level or the "multi-national organization" level.
FDR proposed many "multi-national organizations" obviously with the intention that they not be controlled by the elites and wealthy. So the idea of a liberal "multi-national organization" that provides a liberal framework for international cooperation is something I support. I think that is the reason that Bernie, Corby and British unions supported remaining in the EU.
The UK is about to be reminded of how national elites and wealthy can distort national policy in their favor.
