If we ever turn socialist, Europe needs to be balkanized in order to make sure the European powers could never again rise up to the power they previously held and continue terrorizing the world.

So, how would we balkanize Europe? What would make a region of lets just say: France suitable to become independent and weaken France as a whole. What regions should become independent?

No need, the european century of domination is long over, there's no financial, technological, industrial or militarily advantage Europe employs. The only reason why europe is even considered a developed inter-nation is the Statesians have poured their influence, money and military in order to safeguard and create a second bulwark, otherwise europe would've had a revolution long ago.

The capitalist project is really the only leverage they have, once this is done away, europe's sole infrastructure will collapse within themselves, already the European countries are beginning to break down without the input capitalism full collapse, it's a deck of cards waiting to miserably fall.

Balkanization would just complicates the liberation of workers within this inter-nation, especially considering we need a workers revolution to fully remove the strains of white supremacy which dominates this people's mindset, and even then, europe will go through strife during the collapse of capitalism.

The Russian Empire is excellent example of a country which was so leveraged to a certain people (that being russian, or eastern slavic), that once a revolution swept the country, russification, and the idea of the russian being the civilised people in the steppes, soon dissipated. Instead the Soviet Union promoted the worker's culture, and the new Soviet man.
