do you guys think that within the next hundred years Europe will fully unify into the United States of Europe? (pawb.social)

Just wondering as an American watching the EU pool resources and mostly work for the same common goals over my lifetime.

To clarify, I'm not saying that this would be a part of the United States of America, but a separate world power.

Probably more integration than we have now, but not full integration like the US. I think something one might call a confederation is likely. Unified military, more integrated economies (stuff like having a common framework for company registrations, not tax but taxation systems), shared system for identification/passports, maybe an EU-tax (similar to how most countries have something like municipality/city tax, regional tax and state tax, some of that could be moved to an EU-wide pool of money).

But I don't think we'll see taxation and budgets left over completely to the EU, education, healthcare etc. Just unify the boring stuff and make integration better.
