Do you love Europe? The “Philosophical Dream” of the new society: the critical sketch of the “yet to be known” Europe, totalitarianism, the “humbugging”, the oikophobia

Abstract

This article concerns the following problem: is European Union actually a utopian concept? A good deal of critics on the European political scene support such view. There are even those who claim that the European Union is simply a new face of the utopian communistic Marxism, therefore a totalitarian system. This article is an attempt to verify these statements. Moreover, it contains the arguments that may support such views. Additionally, its purpose is to check whether within the cultural phenomena (inside the EU) are those that would exemplify the qualities of the way of thinking and acting as characteristics of a totalitarian utopia. The paper shows the ideological and philosophical roots of such utopia. In the conclusion, therefore, I claim that EU is subordinate (especially in the realm of values) to a certain, in a way also totalitarian ideology – namely to oikophobia.
