I encourage you all to breath, to speak with loved ones, to meet your neighbours, to engage as fruitfully and charitably as you can, to do favours for people, to ask for favours from people; put the social back into socialism and stop worrying about the politics for the moment. I would spend my energy analysing what the European Commission is doing, how the European Central Bank is conducting its policies, what the various political groups are concerned with and, generally, how an impersonal apparatus of power, the legal-institutional order of the European Union and its Member States, was concerned with its own survival and proliferation.
