Brexit

[heydaralon]

Monte has said on here numerous times that he is against Brexit because Nationalism is a bourgeois tactic to manipulate and conquer the proletariat classes thus postponing the Caliphate Class Struggle. He is terrified that the British people will one day want to make their own policies, and that these policies may go against the centralized socialism of the EUSSR.

An open border on Ireland shouldn't be a problem. We've had open borders in Scandinavia since forever. Between EU members and non-EU members. No problems. UK and ROI aren't in the Schengen either so that takes care of the immigration issues. This should be a minor problem solvable be grown-ups.
But... The sky is falling!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How does the UK leave the customs union without checks at the border between the EU and the UK?
How does the EU ensure goods no longer subject to EU regulations don't cross the border?

It's almost as if the rest of the planet never figured this shit out already. How do North Americans figure this shit out with no NAU?? What a mystery.

So now you are an advocate of open borders?
How do you stop illegal/unregulated items coming into the country?

There is this thing called a border checkpoint. A truck of unlawful dildos too large even to fit in a Frenchmen's ass, coming from the UK of course, stops at a terminal at the French border on the other side of the Chunnel. The frog customs agents open the truck, inspects some of the boxes, and realizes the UK are trying to import their dangerous dildo products into France. He then refuses entry to that truck. Problem solved.

The default position is free trade. If there is a problem with imbalances in trade you put tariffs in. Deal with it if it happens. You have the CE marking that indicates conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA). It can be put on stuff inside or outside of the EU. Again, not a problem. You don't need a trade deal to trade and you don't need to inspect everything brought across a border. Put up some border points for people who need to declare anything. You don't have to put them on every crossing.

No trade deal needed and no conforming to EU rules. They send it in a small package by mail and not even 0.1% of the shipments are checked by customs. We get 150.000 packages arriving every day to the Arlanda airport in Stockholm.
The borders in Ireland is not a problem for trade unless you really, really want to make it one.
