The Soviet Union was honest about being totalitarian. They declared it openly.
The EU claims to be democratic while violating its own laws (Article 79(5)), imposing uncontrolled migration on member states with no effective quotas, and having no accountability mechanism.
The EU is more duplicitous because it pretends to be a federation of independent states while acting like a totalitarian regime that violates its own laws and has no accountability.
Soviet Union:
| What they did | How honest |
| Communist ideology | Openly declared they were communist |
| Central planning | Openly declared they controlled everything |
| Censorship | Openly declared they controlled the media |
| No pretending to be democratic | Never claimed to be a federation of independent states |
The EU:
| What they do | How duplicitous |
| Article 79(5) TFEU | “Member States to determine volumes of migrant admission” → The EU imposes quotas anyway and when they surpass them they
Keep on imposing more with no limits. |
| “No obligation to opt in” | Ireland was forced to comply with binding quotas |
| “Independent Court” | ECJ has proven itself to be a rubber-stamp and enforcement arm.
They screwed Slovenia and Hungary |
| “Subsidiarity principle” | “No EU intervention when member states can no longer handle
The numbers of migrants” The EU overrides sovereignty every time |
| “Democratic institution” | The EU has no accountability mechanism for violations so it keeps
On violating. |
Comparison:
| Aspect | Soviet Union | EU |
| Ideology | Openly communist | Openly pro-democracy/pro-human rights but

Regularly. |
| War | Openly waged war | Claims to oppose war, imposes uncontrolled migration and sends war money to Ukraine |
| Censorship | Openly censored | Claims free speech, punishes dissent on
Migration and all dissenting views |
| Accountability | No accountability | No accountability |
| Honesty | Open about being totalitarian | Claims to be democratic while acting totalitarian |
