In the 30’s the only two real choices in Germany was the Nazi’s and the Communists. I figured after that experience, there would be a sizable Libertarian party in Germany. However it seems most Germans still support big government. I don’t understand it.

Goes back to Bismarck, who instituted the kind of welfare state that liberals have copied in modern times, all the way back in 1880; but he got his version through the parliament by calling it “practical Christianity”.
