I'm afraid that if this comes to pass, the Europe will begin to look more and more alike to ex-Yugoslavia in a way, with common armed forces and national armies rendered to a mere territorial defense forces.
Territorial Defense Forces (Yugoslavia) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Immediately after the war in the ex-Yu began, the territorial defense forces were disbanded/disarmed, in order to ensure that a common army(which was a massive force at that time) defeats the opposition in a blitzkrieg manner.

Sure, also the theory that individual nations aren't able to defend themselves, this is BS for me... Slovenian nation is considered "small" and yet it did defend against numerous invasions trough history. I don't think that European army can be more powerful than let's say German army. It's the unity and patriotism that make the army great, not sole numbers or size if you want. Size of a nation (or army in this case) is irrelevant anyway, solely in numbers Europe can't compete with Asians or Americans, even if united in some European army, but what does that mean?
I'm not in favour of anything that is in the lines of pan-Europeanism, I advocate strong Slovenian army, if other European nations help us fine, if not,.. well it's fine too.

"The two-party-system and the artificial division between left and right is especially malign because it confines people into mental prisons, from which they are almost not able to get out. Even in a one-party-system it is mentally easier to be "in the opposition", "against the system". In the two-party-system (which is in fact one-party-system as well), on the other hand, if the left is currently in the office and you are opposed to the system, it is automatically assumed that you are a "rightist", ie. supporter of the party of the right. And vice versa. Most people refuse to see that the two major parties are in fact one and the same party. Thus the liberal democracy, especially in its venomous two-party variety, is the most successful system of totalitarian manipulation ever invented. Each of the two parties usually has a very dedicated voting herd, needless to say."
