European Union as neo colonisation

The formation of the European Union is an epic of good and evil, of conquest, of power, and of empire. Is it a coincidence that the richest 10 countries in the EU are nearly all former colonial powers? Is it a coincidence that the poorest countries globally were formerly colonised? No, these legacies are testaments to the resounding success of colonisation - and that (neo) colonisation has been preserved and continued by the EU.
