The EU is an entirely capitalist construction, created...

The EU is an entirely capitalist construction, created originally by "the European Coal and Steel Community, which was founded in 1950 and had just six members: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands."

It was an attempt to unite Europe peacefully, instead of thru war, to form a trading block to compete on the world economy.
And Russia is now a completely capitalist country.

If you now see "totalitarian slavery", "censorship and big government, and act like moral Puritans", (which I agree, we are seeing) then you are describing capitalism, as capitalism imposes austerity, inequality and prepares for new wars.

And yes I agree, history is repeating in a rhyming way.

But in the yellow vest movement, we are beginning to see (embryonic atm) the way to unify europe.
