The key difference is the EU doesnt have as much enforcement ability because they are not a dictatorship and the people they are governing have higher expectations. None of which is really a credit to the EU.
The point was that these ideas are neither new nor rare. They constantly pop up everywhere. But only a functioning democracy can keep them at bay. Like it or not, it is the only thing that can protect you from mad/powerhungry people's ideas.
