===Loss of sovereignty by member states===
[[File:Nazi Nato.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Growth of Western fascism.]]
The member states of the European Union fall under the jurisdiction of the Union's legislative and judicial institutions (the Court of Justice, the [[democracy|undemocratically]] appointed executive [[European Commission]] controlled by [[aristocrat]]s and [[oligarch]]s, the [[European Council]] made up of the collective [[heads of government]] of member states, and the concession made to [[Plebian|commoners]] called the [[European Parliament]]) in those competences that they have conferred to the Union (the principle of subsidiarity). EU member states are obliged to follow the laws set forth by the European Court of Justice, even if their national laws are contradictory. This system of government pulls sovereignty in those agreed areas away from the member state, and rests it in the undemocratic EU institutions. Some political theorists argue that the EU is thus the death of the nation, as by the [[Treaty of Westphalia]], nations are defined by their right of self-sovereignty; however, each member state has a legal right to cede from the EU, which non-sovereign components of states do not.
