The symbolism that German farmers chose to express their discontent with the government in the first days of the new year was as unambiguous as it was ominous: by the side of rural roads across the country, there were sightings of makeshift gallows dangling traffic-light signs, a reference to the colours of the three governing parties.
The chilling sculptures are harbingers of unprecedented cross-sector protests and strikes hitting German roads and railways from Monday, and speak of a dramatic change of mood in a country long feted for its consensus-seeking approach to industrial relations, especially compared with its more traditionally strike-prone neighbour France.
With key elections coming up in eastern German states this year, even some farmers fear the new revolutionary spirit could play straight into the hands of a buoyant far right.
An eight-day countrywide protest by agricultural workers, involving motorway blockades and described by the head of the farmers’ association as “the like of which the country has never experienced before”, will go ahead in spite of the government’s partial U-turn on the cuts to diesel subsidies and farming vehicle tax breaks that had triggered them.

UK is a leftist cesspool that join hands with the US Biden cesspool of lies and tyranny.
The Guardian - a rag run by deluded woke children. Trust nothing you see there, nothing.
“cuts to diesel subsidies and farming vehicle tax breaks that had triggered them”
Everybody loves their subsidies and tax breaks.
Typical headline from The Guardian
Leftist Rag not fit to wrap fish 🐟🐟🐟
Protesting farmers stop Germany's vice chancellor leaving ferry
Any response from the ultra extremist far left? Or is that their response.
Like it or not, believe it or not, German farmers are staging an effective protest.“
Well l sure hope so. 7,000 German women sexually assaulted in the last few years, no go zones, Government services draining, German culture being shredded on and on. Is it too late?
Now that the (neo )Marxists are in control, strikes by farmers and workers are a ominous and evil thing
Darn fine questions and thereby observations, especially as reported through the lens of socialist-leaning Britain.
We know now that the National Socialists have been sold to the post WWII world as "far right," while in fact they were socialists. The name says it -- Nazionalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei.
How were they different from the German Communists of pre-WWII Germany. They saw the German Marxists as a "Jewish" form of socialism, and they wanted an Aryan form of socialism. Both were anti-capitalist in their own words. So it was a matter of which thug was the more thuggish. History tells that answer without question, but obfuscates on the terminology with ONE goal.
To keep the dream of socialism alive. These last decades have proven them successful, but over time history corrects even this. Today's "workers strike" -- farmers are indeed workers, while politicians are not -- scare the political elite. Should ordinary folk dismiss their "leaders," whatever will those "leaders" do? And their mouthpieces, the media?
The mood is heating up. As indeed it should. The EU project shows signs of cracks, now. As it should. The Red-Green coalition in Berlin teeters, as it should. In time those darned people -- the 'demos' -- rise up and rebel. So says history.
It’s always the evil, far-left, fascist terrorists who are afraid of far-right members of the population. What the hell are those wacky commies afraid of?
If a red-brown coalition ever happens anywhere, it will be in Germany.
Hopefully, the German farmers will get all the way to the UK and replace the traffic lights with Guardian Staff.
The far-left is starting to panic. Their “american dream” of global communism is starting to collapse as the right is starting to “clap” and “hack” back.
Hey Guardian “writers”,
“Far Right” = Totally Correct
Your left wing philosophy is the most consistently failing set of rules in the multiverse. Everything you touch turns into ObamaMarxstuff. One would think that you’d be aware of the saying that those who keep doing the same things and expecting different results are idiots.
“there were sightings of makeshift gallows dangling traffic-light signs, a reference to the colours of the three governing parties.”
It’s the same everywhere.
As long as wealth sovereigns are involved in politics and government they will continue to rule not in the best interests of the people.
Go to You Tube and see videos of what Britain looks like today. I was gob smacked. All the major cities like London, Luton, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, all of them and the smaller cities look like the zombie apocalypse.
I couldn’t believe what I was watching. It’s frightening even. The sun sure has set on The British Empire.
