The left in Germany, and every where else they are the dominant party, are waging a war against sensibility. It sure seems like mental illness.
Flooding your country with middle easterners who have a 6th century mindset and want to conquer you is not a good game plan, Germany.
Angela Merkel was able to conquer Europe without firing a shot. The big question is WHY she sponsored such a a devastating enterprise, and for whom.
Just astounding. Sending copies to my family that lived in Germany for years. Musk does it again.
Today, in a perverse irony, it is the ‘liberal’ left that is the most antisemitic, the most vitriolic, and the least tolerant
...and in my opinion, the same liberal left under Adolph, were the most anti-Semitic, vitriolic, and least tolerant.
IOW does the author have a clue who the National Socialists were in the 30’s and 40’s?
I’ve been to Germany twice and frankly I’m not sure it can be made OK again. I’m not sure it ever was OK. 😉
As free citizens we believe in direct democracy, the separation of powers, the rule of law, social market economics, subsidiarity, federalism, family values, and German cultural heritage, as democracy and freedom are vested in our cultural values and historical tradition. The recollection of the two revolutions of 1848 and 1989 drive our civil protest and the determination to complete our national unity in freedom, and create a Europe of sovereign and democratic nation states, united in peace, self-determination and good-neighborliness.The AfD are also on the left. And no, Germany has not changed for the better at all; their flip-flops with respect to the USA and Israel reflect that.
— AfD party platform, preamble
Minimum wages and the social market economy are closely connected. Minimum wages adjust the remunerative position of low-income workers as weak market players with respect to the interests of employers as strong market players. They also safeguard low-income workers against wage pressure caused by recent mass-immigration. Minimum wages enable an existence above the poverty line, and at least guarantee a humble pension, which otherwise would have to be paid for by society in the form of state support. Minimum wages thus prevent the privatization of profits while costs are socialized. It is for this reason that the AfD supports the retention of minimum wages.
