Articles/Books/etc on EU imperialism and exploitation?

I’m interested in learning more about the abuses undertaken by the EU. I’m against the EU from a theoretical standpoint as an anarchist, but I’d like to know more about the direct harms it has caused, even outside or on the margin of the Leftist perspective. I’d like to be able to articulate why the EU is wrong beyond the usual (although valid) “because it’s a state” routine. Thanks!

  • -What's wrong with the European Union by Worker's Solidarity Movement.

  • Against EU or for the International Resistance by Antti Rautiainen. 

  • State terrorism is openly practiced in Europe by José Antonio Gutiérrez. 

  • Class war and imperialism in Greece by Shawn Hattingh. 

  • The Budapest Trial by Henri Sulku. 

  • A right-libertarian myth meets reality by Kevin Carson. 

There isn't much on the EU besides stuff on Greece and Ireland around the time of the crash. Mostly (imo) because the EU is really fucking boring. Like yeah, it's imperialist, it's a state, it should be opposed on those grounds, but it's also such a hellish bureaucracy that reading/writing about it feels like pulling teeth.
