One in five Germans believe that a revolution would be the only way to truly reform society, a study released by the Free University of Berlin on Monday shows.
Anti-capitalism, anti-fascism and anti-racism were all are prominent positions according to the study entitled “Against state and capital—for the revolution”, which has revealed a public much further to the left than previously thought. In the report, 20% of the people surveyed agreed with the statement that “Living conditions won’t be improved by reforms—we need a revolution”.
A similar percentage of people said they saw the rise of a new fascism in Germany as a real danger, while as many as a third agreed that capitalism inevitably leads to poverty and hunger. […]
Almost 50 percent of respondents said they had noticed an increased surveillance of left-wing dissidents by police and the state. And 27 percent fear that by spying on its citizens, Germany is on its way towards a dictatorship. …

I bet the percentage is a little higher here in America.
These are the same sentiments that gave birth to the NSDAP
If the Germans want to start a revolution by taking over the main train station....they would first buy platform tickets.
I hope so. Much, much higher.
These are the same sentiments that gave birth to the NSDAP
I believe most of them are sick of the mooselimbs. They’ve learned that this liberal multicultural BS doesn’t work very well.
The French are pre-emptively surrendering.
Chief Among Non-Believers: Only the Old Embrace God in Former East Germany
Belief in God varies greatly between different countries, but the percentage of believers in the former East Germany is lower than anywhere else, “anchoring the secular pole” internationally, according to a new report by an American research organization. But even in this unpious region, the rate of believers increases with age.

Is this the same group of Germans who were polled 2 or 3 years ago and asked what form of government they would prefer?
That time they preferred a king.
A German friend of mine told me he was in favor of a king. A sane, accomplished, educated man living in Munich. At first I thought he was joking. He wasn’t. I was speechless.
My thoughts exactly. Given enough time the Krauts will start marching at some point. I just hope they don’t get any stupid notions like they did 70 years ago. That is to say, I hope they have the good sense to stay within their own borders. I think they will though.
LOL!!!
No they won’t. The post-WWII generations were successfully emasculated; they talk a big game, but always expect ‘someone else’ will actually do the heavy lifting. I recall my 83 year old German father-in-law asking ‘Are there no men left in Germany?’ The sad answer is ‘damned few’.
A truly benevolent monarchy is actually the most efficient and best form of government. The problem is, even if you found one, the successors would embrace tyranny and despotism. It only works in Heaven.
its a problem for most all Western countries including ours. Only a fool points and laughs at other countries like France, Germany, Scandinavia, etc where here on our own soil we have a super powerful racial group that has their way with society doing as they please, where LGBT intimidate and do as they please, as Islam sets the table and LaRaza and their ilk scoff at our border and attack anyone who opposes them.
Du hast recht, mien herr.
Most of those calling for revolution are so poorly educated that they have no clue what a real revolution entails. They are so soft that when the flesh would start tearing and the blood flowing, they would faint on the spot.
You’re right. They’re girlie men now.
Du hast Recht, mein Herr. Or more likely, Sie haben Recht, mein Herr. Nouns are capitalized in German.
