Us Europeans are being lorded over by the US and yet we don't have ban to electricity to follow the Amish way of life, just because that's the most backward part of the US.

We're now living in a time where the US is telling us to tank our economy time after time 'just to spite the enemy', while China's economy is growing 5+% per year.
That's not sustainable.
At some point the people of Europe will be looking up at China and Russia for having an industry and commerce instead of letting everything be bought out by the US.

Moreover, our human rights are extremely selective and are based on the protection of the two ruling classes of capitalism, the lawyer class and the merchant (aka as donor) class, having replaced the clergy and nobility that came before. Human rights is just one way for the laywer class to justify their actions, which primarily serves the merchant class On top of that, none of those in power are even in Europe anymore. The donors class is all (Anglo-)American and we're obligated to follow "international law" or "agreements with NATO" no matter what you supposedly voted for.
The moment competition shows up from China, in the US, not even the EU, then those rights the rest of us are supposed to have are immediately thrown out of the window, or for us Europeans, six months later.

Freedom of trade?

2000: "That's what has made the US the most powerful nation in the world!"
2025: "National security threat!" "IP theft!"
"No ZTE routers, Huawei phones, or inexpensive BYD cars, for you. Sorry."

Freedom of the press?

2000: "Freedom of speech what the US has and other countries don't." 2025: "Fake news!" "Ruzzian Chinese propaganda!"
"No more RT for you. Sorry. And soon we'll be curtailing TikTok (US), Xiaohongshu (Taiwan) and any Asian cinema as well. (US)"

Human rights?

2000: "You're allowed to protest about anything." 2025: "Protesting genocide of Palestine by Israel is anti-semitic and thus illegal. (UK)"

Oh!? Well this is my head-cannon of the diffences..

US Communists - Just buses? Are you kidding me? We need at least 50k km of highspeed rail, make rail travel free for all, even tourists! And seize all gigafactories and data centers to pay for it.

US Democratic Socialist - Let's do what Europe does* and provide free bus passes next to free healthcare.

US Progressive - Let the free-market decide for men. Free bus passes only for people of minoritized identities and only if the bus will combat climate change, so diesel buses are out of the question.

US Liberal - Let the free-market decide. Free bus passes if you can prove that you're using it to go to work.

US Right-wing - Rob the poor blind! Those who don't contribute to society, should be punished for it. And no buses. If you need a ride, buy a car. If you can't afford one, then get a job you filthy commie! Also, it's the rich that contribute to society, so it should be the poor who should pay the most taxes in order to help those who keep the US economy thriving.

US fascist - Transportation should be free for everyone, but especially for the native Americans. We believe in the power of the native Americans. And this all the fault of the rich. So kill the rich, kill the rich, kill the rich.....Juice! Buses are part of their (((globalist elite))) agenda, the agenda of "you will own nothing and be happy". Look up who runs the WEF. Pay good attention to their ((( affiliations ))). So let us native Americans, who speak English and aren't brown, unite against the Khazarian (((billionaires))) and their brown globalist allies. We should provide free bus passes for non-native Americans however, under the condition that they're run by ICE and only with destinations outside of the US.


  • Very few countries in the EU provide free bus passes, so this group would actually be more to the left than EU social democrats and more close to EU socialist parties.
