The one common characteristic of the dictatorships I can think of right now is the organisation of which they are capable and the lengths to which they are willing to go to assure their continuing control. For instance, although the Nazi death camps are rightly described as a 'crime against humanity', it might also be accurate to describe them as the single greatest logistics project ever planned and carried out.
Now I'm sure the EU bods would be very pleased to know that you consider them capable of such heights of planning prowess but I'm not entirely sure that the evidence stacks up. Take this so-called Calais crisis. Either there exists some great Machiavellian scheme that somehow requires thousands of fruit pickers and the appearance of near-total incompetence or the EU is as much use as tits on a fish.
One might be tempted instead to ascribe all one's fevered notions of organisational conspiracy to the Germans. To this I answer with just three words: Berlin-Brandenburg Airport. Look it up - it's both hilarious and depressing in equal measure.
But remember always that the conspiracy theorist's position is actually that of the optimist for his notions are based on the ideas that the world is controllable, that someone exists capable of controlling it and that that same someone can actually be arsed to control it.
