BERLIN (Reuters) - Former German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder on Sunday called for the creation of a "United States of Europe," saying the bloc needed a common government to avoid future economic crises.
Schroeder, a Social Democrat who ran the country from 1998 to 2005, said in an interview with Der Spiegel that European Union leaders were wrong to expect the euro to drive the bloc on its own.
"The current crisis makes it relentlessly clear that we cannot have a common currency zone without a common fiscal, economic and social policy," Schroeder said.
He added: "We will have to give up national sovereignty."
"From the European Commission, we should make a government which would be supervised by the European Parliament. And that means the United States of Europe."
Schroeder, who nurtured a close relationship with France during his leadership, welcomed an initiative launched by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy to move toward a fiscal union in 2012.
Their proposal, which would mean giving up sovereignty over budgetary policies with the aim to shore up the 17-nation currency union, has received a lukewarm response from other euro zone countries.
"Germany and France have sent a strong signal with the plan for a European economic government, if it is meant seriously and receives suitable authority such as a European finance minister," Schroeder said.
"That is the correct way forward and the precondition for the correct funding -- euro bonds," he said.
Germany, which enjoys lower costs for issuing debt than its single currency partners, has led resistance to joint euro-denominated bonds.
"It is a huge bond market -- speculators would no longer harbor hopes of splitting it up," Schroeder said.
In order to initiate these changes, Schroeder said EU member states would have to return to the negotiating table and hammer out a new treaty to replace the one agreed in Lisbon that currently serves as the bloc's institutional framework.
"In the crisis lies a real opportunity to achieve a political union in Europe," he said.
Schroeder, who says the EU can only respond to growing competition with the United States and Asia by being fully united, has long pointed to Britain as a hurdle to further EU integration.
"Great Britain causes the greatest problems. (It is) not in the euro but the British nevertheless always want to participate when it comes to designing a European economic area," he said. "That doesn't work."

Comment:
Herr Schroeder is indeed on the right road. He's in the wrong lane, but the right road. Europe must indeed become united if it is to survive - especially with it's original inhabitants intact (Aryans).
Schroeder's problem is he is a "Democratic Socialist", meaning he leans towards Marxism, except with Democracy. What's the difference? Both systems do NOT serve the White worker, but the wealthy elite, as do communism, Judeo-Capitalism, and monarchies.
Only one system serves the White worker fairly and honestly: National Socialism.
Until people come to understand this, any system they try will be doomed to failure. It would only be a matter of time.
What I'm getting at is Schroeder would replace the Judeo-Capitalist European Union with a Judeo-Capitalist United States of Europe. That's like replacing a bald tire with another bald tire. It just doesn't make any sense - or does it?
Most people are naive and gullible. They'll believe any person who promises change, as long as he's dynamic and popular. Look at Obama. He promised change, hope. What did we get? No change, no hope.
The only thing a Judeo-Capitalist United States Of Europe will achieve, is to make it easier for the rich to exploit the poor.
Comrades, I know I'm preaching to the choir (for the most part). There is only one way to achieve real, positive change for the White worker (and middle class, as now they are being sucked dry by the wealthy as well): National Socialism.
We MUST succeed. We must NEVER give up. Keep that literature flowing. In a few weeks the nasty heat will be over with. Let's get out there and spread the word.
We have a conference in Illinois in October, and another in California in November. Many of you are close enough to attend one of them. Contact HQ or myself (for the California conference only - I have no say in the Illinois one) and let us know you will be attending. Admission is free. If you come to California, you'll be able to have an authentic German dinner in one of the few beautiful areas left in the Fool's Golden State.
If you commit to attend, you will receive a written invitation with all the details. BTW, bring souvenir money with you. If you don't, you'll be kicking yourself, I guarantee it! (No, it's not near Disneyland) HAIL VICTORY!
Thanks again to Comrade Dr. Johann Hauptman for sending this to me.

Dan, I'm surprised you haven't put up any news on the latest Obama speech tonight. I'm also surprised to see that you are not online with the White House discussions that are live taking place as we speak. I am though.. see ya!
ReplyDeleteDan, it's not often we see eye to eye on things (that's because you're stubborn.. just kidding) but I have to agree with you on this. Germany can't copy cat the U.S. and so this idea stinks up to high heaven and so does (btw) your idea that NS fixes everything wrong.
ReplyDeleteUh Oh Dan, it seems neo nazism is on the rise in Germany winning 33 percent of the votes? Hmmm it's getting closer to that time when I must make the choice of housewife or coffin box and I think that box is looking pretty good to me! Here's the link:

Dan, ya can't be fired if you mouth off on Facebook according to judge ruling. Here's the link http://www.forbes.com/sites/mobiledia/2011/09/08/employees-cant-be-fired-for-facebook-complaints-judge-says/?feed=rss_home
ReplyDeleteOh I foresee a lot of Facebook issues in court.
Dan, I'd like to get your comment on this article. lol! Redefining Feminism and Christianity. http://www.christianpost.com/news/christian-women-taking-back-feminism-55280/
ReplyDeleteI do believe the secular feminist definition is more fitting and Christian conservatives attempting to redefine it are freaking hilarious! They are a contradiction of their own faith.
Of course now when it comes down to a NS point of view I know to come to you. hehe Can't wait to hear your response!
Dan, this is probably one of the best speeches I've heard. Wish you guys had a forerunner with a loud mouth.

5:29 PM - Good reason. I didn't watch it. I haven't the slightest interest in what that phoney Black man has to say. He's a lying weasel, like most politicians. If I read about it in a day or so, I might post something, but I can think of a lot more important issues than him.
ReplyDelete5:31 - Was that a complement, or an insult?
6:16 - Thanks, I'll check it out.
6:20 - That's good news for FB and other employees. They have some job protection. But it still doesn't stop FB itself from harrassing Natinal Socialists. Sometimes, when an NS is kicked off FB, they deserve it. When someone calling himself a Nazi posts something like, "Fuck all Joos and burn in hell." which was a real post I saw, that's harrassment. Never say anthing on FB that you wouldn't say to a cop or a judge.
6:44 - YOU ASKED FOR IT! You sound like the type who feels being a housewife is beneath her dignity. Like it's something a woman should be ashamed. You sound like the type who would say that you don't know how to cook, and you would say it like you're proud of it.
I say one of the reasons our kids are so screwed up these days is because mom is off being self-fulfilled in the work place, rather than home where she is needed. Knowing mom is home is comforting to kids, even if they are at school, or with their friends. Just knowing mom is there if they need her gives them a sense of security.
Nowadays, two incomes are needed in many cases just to get by. But a woman needs to ask herself, "Do we need two incomes, or do we want two incomes?" There is a difference. Needing means you can't get along without two. Wanting means you could get along fine, but you want more money to buy crap that you could do without.
For example, if you have two boys or two girls, you don't need to provide each with their own room. Have children of the same sex share a room. I shared a room with my brother for 14 years.
Do you need a big expensive SUV? No, buy a smaller, cheaper car. Unless you have a big family, you don't need a big car.
Going on vacation to Hawaii next year? You don't need that. Rent an apartment at the nearest beach for a week or two.
You say that you work hard and deserve nice things and fancy vacations. That's up to you. If you want to sacrifice your children's well-being to satisfy your own wants and desires, I can't stop you. Remember, the children come first WITHOUT exception. If you don't like it, don't have kids.
Also, kids need YOU more than they need material possessions.
7:39 - In truth, it's almost Midnight here. I'll check out the speech tomorrow. Right now it's sleepy time!
Dan 88!
You gotta be kidding me? Dan, there is not anything that I can't do if I apply myself. Cooking is one of those simple things far down my list of skills. It seems to me it's you NS that have a problem with how I prioritize. It's not really that you hate me, it's just that you NS put more emphasis on the electives than the main courses.. which IMO is azz backwards, but hey it's what floats your boat so it doesn't really bother me!
ReplyDeleteDan, I like career women and I put more emphasis on education whereas you put more emphasis on procreation. You blame absentee mothers for the poor behavior coming from kids but I have not once seen you bad mouth absentee fathers so this furthermore proves what is said about NS they are all about suppression and oppression of women and children.
ReplyDeleteDan, just FYI, I do happen to think that women should be opening up a book instead of out spreading their legs.
ReplyDelete1:53 - I can think of one thing women can't do. Sperm donor! LOL Seriously, women can do anything that men can do. The two questions are, should they, and are men and women interchangeable? I say no to both. Each has their own role in society, and it is harmful to the community when men and women do what's best for themselves, rather than what's best for all. "The needs of the many, out weigh the needs of the few - or the one." - Mr. Spock.
ReplyDelete1:57 - The average Latino family has 4.5 children. The average White family has only 1.75 children, so you're damn right I place heavy emphasis on procreation. We've got to increase our numbers, or they'll out breed us, plain and simple. Suppression and oppression? Well, I can see how a woman might feel that way if NS tries to keep her from fulfilling her career dreams. But like I said, if we all did what was best for the whole, rather than ourselves, maybe our society wouldn't be so sick. The young people of the 1970's were referred to as the "Me Generation", because it was fashionable to think of yourself first, and to hell with everyone else. One of their sayings was, "If it feels good - DO IT! Anyone who doesn't like it can go f*ck themselves!" Completely selfish and hedonistic. In my opinion, that applies to today's young people as well. Indeed, I think it has gotten worse, thanks to the Jews Media who encourage this attitude.
1:59 - A lot fewer women could have avoided hellish marriages and unwanted children if they took your advice.
Dan 88!
Dan you keep using the word interchangeable. Have you ever stopped ONCE and thought about jobs that are gender neutral? Of course you haven't because you suscribet to age old NS ideology that puts women and women in gender roles. I can assure you that I as a female would never try to compete with a male, they aren't competition in my opinion anyway and I do not want all that stuff hanging between my legs so I am not trying to be a man.
ReplyDeleteJust FYI so you'll know. You can call it liberal but you won't see a the women in groves darkening your doorstep wanting to join BECAUSE of this mentality of the ANP.
You happen to be right about the number of women involved in the movement. About 10% female. Mostly married. Some single, but most married to men in the movement. Regrettable. But compromising any part of NS is unacceptable, especially if it's just to attract new members.
