Exactly. And the EUSSR doesn't have any kind of "democratic" decision
making:

* "parliament" isn't democratically elected. The votes of somebody in a
  small country counts 100 times more than the one of somebody in a
  bigger one (official ruling by German high court, btw)
* the actual lawmaker is the unelect "commussion" - the parliament needs
  a majority vote to stop certain "legislature"
* the whole system never had been voted on by we the people - it's
  always just made by the polit officers.
* and even within this, most actual decisions are actually made in
  dozens of small, usually private, committees of people who're usually
  totally unknown to general public.

I've once used to be part in lobby work here (preventing the
legalization of the hundreds of thousands illegally granted software
patents), and so have directly seen how this system works.
It's quite the opposite of democracy. More a combination of USSR's
communism and Mussolini's fascism. The rule of corporate comittees,
not the rule of we the people.
(The US, with all of it's serious problems, is the far lesser evil)

Back when the whole things was started, the montane union, this model
might have been working fine - as long as it's dealing only with a very
limited set of international cooperation. But it has grown into some
kind of corporate super-state, it's ruling into all aspects of life.
That's the point where it's totally inacceptable and highly dangerous
for freedom as such.

Exactly. And the EUSSR unites all three branches. The "european court"
even openly invents new semi-"constitutional" principles that aren't
even mentioned in any of the contract texts - out of thin air.
And nobody there is remotely elected by we the people.

Be cautious with all kind of big governments. The politbüro can never
be trusted.
