Quite right.
Europe has two tasks to accomplish. The first is to escape the legacy of its own imperial past by prioritizing the ecological restoration of its former victims.
The second, is to escape the tyranny of post-cold war American-style finance and corporatized aggression; that is only a second wave of ravaging predatory colonialism ~ ironically enough, that is not only eviscerating the philosophical wealth of European institutional tradition, but also rendering, quite literally, the living flesh of the whole Earth into an ecocidal boneyard of moral desolation, criminal depravity and mesmeric desperation.
