Many Germans, maybe most of them, are fed up with capitalism, because we pay over 56% of our income in taxes (in average).
The rents went through the roof, other living costs raised as well, but the incomes didn´t and we have a 0% interest since over ten years now, so the middle class is shifting faster and faster to the south, wealth moves more and more to less super-rich people.
So Socialism or even Communism becomes more and more attractive for the younger generation, which sees no fututre perspective in Capitalism.
Besides of knowing, that this is cancer itself, I can understand why they do - just fear.
The problem is that you don't actually have Capitalism.
What you have is the full on European version of Socialism, where state takes more of your paycheck then you get, to give handouts to everyone else.
That's NOT Capitalism, that's the Socialist plan.
Then just like in most other systems, (including the totally corrupted version of Capitalism currently in play in the USA), the crony government makes sure their rich buddies keep getting richer, while tossing enough free stuff to those that don't work, to keep themselves in power, and totally robbing the hard working middle class blind from every angle, both corporate, government and financial.
What you are seeing happen in the entire western world is a race back to the middle ages where the ruling noble class owned everything and everybody else was serfs, they had to rent everything from the dirt they worked, to the houses they lived in. Elites keep the king in power, and the king uses the army to keep the peasants in line.
Everybody is too busy looking at their new phones and apps and social media and getting stuff from Amazon to understand the middle class is being purposely eliminated so we have only the rich elite rulers and the serfs.
The young generation are totally ignorant and blind to what this new "rent" and "own nothing" society is going to mean for them... Lifelong wage slavery with NO chance to ever get off the treadmill, and harsh poverty when they are forced to "retire".
Of course they want to push "Socialist" and "Communist" policies as the goal. Because then they can push through the final batch of getting rid of any ownership stake by the middle class.
Just like your 0% interest or sometimes even negative interest, I'll bet if you want to go get a loan from the bank for a house or car or credit card, you are NOT offered the loan for 0%.... Big Banks get rich, you get poor.
Not saying you are wrong, but just a little confused as you kind of describing the current state of the problem as the essence of “class struggle” between the Bourgeois and Proletarians...
Kind of mixing it up there?
when one of their right leaning parties was smeared and had to dissolve.
That´s the first picture I see of that, I thought it will go all the way around it.
Where did you get the info, that it is to protect from islamic terrorists?
I can´t imagine, that someone would say that / blame them.
when Ivan came to do some 'sightseeing' in Berlin .
Well, actually she is not only chancellor, she is the leader of the conservative party called CDU as well.
Former conservative party will fit better.
In my opinion no one knows actually what she is, or what she thinks or wants, she is hiding it perfectly.

But I think, Merkel is much worse than a Communist, I think she is a Neoliberalist belonging to the worldwide elite movement, aka "The war of the rich against the poor." (according to Warren Buffet).
Class struggle is bullshit in Capitalism, which is why they've replaced it with "race struggle".Not saying you are wrong, but just a little confused as you kind of describing the current state of the problem as the essence of “class struggle” between the Bourgeois and Proletarians...

Read some Marx. He HATED the middle class more than anything. It was the middle class that prevented a communist system wherein only those at the tippy top of the communist power structure own everything, including the lives of all the people.
BLM and Antifa are almost more of a religious cult than a political movement. They've redesigned Marx's class struggle to fit America, and they have started a violent revolution because they have to. They cannot create paradise with all of us in it. We are the ones who have to be eliminated.
How the hell are you supposed to swing the grill if it has legs???
The winner of the election and legal president of Thüringen, Thomas Kemmerich, abdicated after only a few days.

You and i are not living in real capitalism, what you have at present its heavily rigged and regulated pseudo capitalism,powerful and large middle class only arose with regulation, breaking up monopolies and market manipulation, parallel law, that made wealthy, uberwealthy, large or strong middle class did not exist in pure capitalism, i don't know if you are blind you have just slept over the past couple of months seen a case study in how you wreck the middle class while propping up the upper couple % and the poor. We have seen similar in 2008/9 total wipeout off the middle class .
You would be wise to study about your history to see how fortunes were made in the Gilded age.
I am really amused on American fixation with communism, i don't think anyone even in communist China or North Korea talks about Marx and communism as much as you do. For rest of the world its something that went of scrapheap of history. Marx and his works are the product of its time.
I am not jealous as i am what you term as second-gen maybe not 1% but definelty2% and most of the folks i know and work with are wealthy, but i am not brainwashed into thinking that with enough effort >every one has a chance for social mobility, i understand how heavily rigged the system is and who you know has much more value than wealthy like to admit.
I do not disagree with a lot of that. But utopian Capitalism, or utopian libertarianism, or any kind of Utopianism is evil in and of itself, because humans are inherently imperfect and flawed.You and i are not living in real capitalism, what you have at present its heavily rigged and regulated pseudo capitalism,powerful and large middle class only arose with regulation, breaking up monopolies and market manipulation, parallel law, that made wealthy, uberwealthy, large or strong middle class did not exist in pure capitalism, i don't know if you are blind you have just slept over the past couple of months seen a case study in how you wreck the middle class while propping up the upper couple % and the poor. We have seen similar in 2008/9 total wipeout off already dented the middle class twice in 2 decades.
5trillion bailout i guess is the invisible hand of the markets.

Europe really does still have classes, though they’re fading fast.
Oh, and commies are currently do a pretty good job of taking over this country, currently. Like right now. So there's that.
All European nations have“free” healthcare and education, nothing wrong in your statement there. I myself are a Norwegian living in Norway and we have it all but calling it free is some misleading given the amount of taxes we pay.
Bingo on the taxes you pay.
And how is the care?
In a country of 7 million, homogeneous people with a common shoulder on the yoke probably the care is fantastic.
In a country of 350M with 50% living off the govt we will be lucky to get an aspirin. Our dueling political parties will provide care to the non payers as payment for their vote.
absolutely,that’s why it’s called the Nordic model. It works for us up in the North. I am not complaining or looking for any major changes at home, we are 7 years in under a current conservative government and they are still popular and it looks good going into next years election.
always something that can improve but in general no reason to make a big fuzz.
single payer healthcare is not free but works for most, one thing we see is even tough the government is inefficient when it comes to the cost of healthcare 'non profit insurance that is typically state-owned as are many of the Hospitals. way out preforms commercial insurance companies
As you see its all semantics when donors call politicians they can pull 5 trillion and suddenly no one debates or objects same for 1 trillion defense budget
In the end of the day what is important is you getting the best healthcare for your moneys worth and in that respect what you have is marginally efficient.Its really hard to argue in favor of it when others tend to have much more favorable outcomes.
'' The medical journal, The Lancet, is one of the world’s Big Three scientific journals of medicine; that’s the triumvirate of authorities for physicians worldwide, and the other two are the Journal of the American Medical Association, and the New England Journal of Medicine. On August 27th The Lancet published “Measuring universal health coverage based on an index of effective coverage of health services in 204 countries and territories”. Here is the visual that’s in it, which shows the United States as having, by far, the world’s costliest medical care, at around $9,000 per person per year, and yet as having lower quality of health care than virtually all other industrialized nations do: ''
