In London they have smeared (they did, or did I misunderstand it?) and threaten to tear down the monument of Churchill.
In Göttingen, Ruhr area, Northrhine Westphalia, they have unveiled a monument statue of Lenin. Not in some forsaken place in Eastern Germany, no - but in the former West Germany.
What have communists and nazis in common? Three things. Both are socialists, are left. Both want totalitarianism, centralism, planned economy.
Both are immune to learn the lessons from history, ever.
Sign of the times. Some weeks ago, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern a member of an anti-capitalist platform named "Antikapitalistische Platform", which gets observed by the Verfassungsschutz as being hostile to the constitutional order and of which this woman is co-founder, has been voted as judge into the state's constitutional court. In the GDR, she worked for the SED regime and since then also has been shown to have abused her influence there for enriching herself at the cost of other people in cortrupt activities. A corrupt and declared anti-capitalistic SED profiteer who rejects to say sorry for the SED regime's injustice, and relatives the murderings at the wall until today - now being constitutional judge at a state'S highest court in contemporary Germany. The explicit legal demand that constitutional judges must be - no ifs and no buts - strictly loyal to the constitutional order of the republic, has been fundamentally violated - and all parties, including the regional CDU, agreed to it.
The old links and ties and connections still work, you know. In Meck-Vor, and is Saxony and Thuringia as well.
