I've heard some people believe its the modern version of it. With un-elected by the people leaders. And trying stamp out the powers of member states of it, to not agree with what the unelected leaders want.

Such as if your in the EU and don't want mass migration, you face a lot of pressure and fines.

Has it ever been a time where you could speak your mind if you weren't rich?

When the iron curtain fell, communists flooded the West.
This has done incalculable damage over the last 40 years.

I'm pretty sure Germany has it's own historically unrealized ambitions and doesn't need to adopt any from anyone else.

Who is stupid enough to think this?

I am not intelligent enough to know what an EU or Soviet Union is.

They probably have a website, that may tell you what it is, or perhaps they have a leaflet that you can take to inform yourself about such matters.

As far as I know, it's supposed to do something good. It's probably needed because they have all those different languages and customs, and it's needed to properly communicate, so you can get things done more efficiently. To make it possible to manage things such as maintaining wild life and how to manage that between regions. For instance, how wild life may travel from one place to another. Things like that need to be managed and discussed between and across borders, otherwise you can't manage them at all.

Obviously people are elected for such tasks, because they need to be competent enough to be able to do that and make such decisions.

One difference is the Soviet union had its own massive army. But the EU has to beg america to use Nato.

But really... calling trump "dad" to try to get more nato support ... I have no words.

Obviously you don't have words, couldn't have displayed it any clearer.

Americans still grapple with the concepts of communism and socialism 4 decades after the USSR. Now they also struggle with the concepts of authoritarianism and democracy. This is what I mean when I say the internet has not made people any more informed. At least it's good for engineering and scientific collaboration and saving you a trip to the store.
