===Base attitude of leftists | These section were written around the first half of 2022 when the Russian invasion of Ukraine took place. | ||
Leftists put the social aspects over profit and fight for those who need the most help. Therefore they have a traditional tendency to be more anti-authoritarian, anti-fascistic, anti-capitalistic, pro-communistic, anti-US-American/pro-Russian, and anti-Israeli/pro-Palestine and support minority-identitarian ideas. | |||

** When Putin honors the war crimes in Bucha as "heroism" and "courage" we may see it as a cynical, barbarian doing but in a rationalized view it is logical: He believes he depend on the terror acts and cannot tell his troops that they did wrong and decrease their moral even further. Russian soldiers are dying for him after all. | ** When Putin honors the war crimes in Bucha as "heroism" and "courage" we may see it as a cynical, barbarian doing but in a rationalized view it is logical: He believes he depend on the terror acts and cannot tell his troops that they did wrong and decrease their moral even further.

* The aggressor would be faced pretty early on with the crime of attempted genocide. A international like-minded community of states couldn't ignore that as the continued war tells them that they are next to be attacked. For damage containment they would to participate in the war - in one way or another - and make sure the aggressor does not win. | * The aggressor would be faced pretty early on with the crime of attempted genocide.

===German political parties in a nutshell=== | |||
====SPD==== | |||
They were traditionally "the employee party." Despite having won the Bundestagswahl in 2021 they are losing voters again. Compared to CDU they were recognized as the "smaller evil" and therefore got the votes. They serve basically as a placeholder for CDU and the growing Green. | |||
====Grüne==== | |||
"The green and anti-nuclear party." Voters were not afraid of their core program but the new ideological topics and their missing experience. Also, they are not perceived for a strong social competence. Putin's war has grind away some ideological excesses up to that point that they even got praise from the CDU-FDP-AfD-near news platform WELT. If they don't completely fuck it up another time the Green have a good chance in setting the vice chancellor at least another time. Climate change isn't going away. To the contrary. | |||
====FDP==== | |||
A natural "five percent party" due to their core clientele: "bankers, managers, bosses". With money fueled PR they most often surpass the their natural limit. -- Certain individuals have indeed good, plausible positions that the mainstream can agree on but that doesn't change the fact that they actually have a different clientele and that their Corona booster is running out. -- They are a traditional "king maker" party, most often for CDU. | |||
====CDU==== | |||
"The employers party." The common nominator by clientele and money but has the most corruption scandals. Chancellor Merkel had a strategy that ensure victories for many years. The costs for that strategy were a non-implementation of important but uncomfortable reforms. | |||
====AfD==== | |||
Pool of activated non-voters, "protest voters", rights beyond CDU and extreme right. It's said that this party is doomed for reincarnation. When the radical forces surpass the maximum of being tolerable the party gets basically ostracized by society and the cycle repeats. (NPD, AfD, ...) | |||
====Linke==== | |||
"The East German party." Marginalized themselves by inner fights and are perceived as ideological dead stranded. Also, by strategical voting they became collateral damage: Voters wanted to prevent AfD so they lost votes to CDU and SPD. | |||
====The biggest party: the non-voters==== | |||
Non-voters are often described as biggest party. But that doesn't mean they so homogeneous to be such party. It's debatable whether non-voters are a sign of a functional or dysfunctional democracy. | |||
Why do people don't vote? They ... | |||
* don't have any political interest. | |||
* don't believe politicians in general. | |||
* they have a minority position so their vote has realistically no effect anyway. | |||
* are intellectual non-voters: they don't see voting to make much of a difference because they don't have control over details (not enough direct democratic). | |||
* are pleased by the general course of politics and so no correction is needed (If you argue that democracy is the best form of system you shouldn't be surprised that some people subconsciously perceive possible optimization steps to become smaller and smaller. Elections become automatically of marginalized importance and anything else is actually (as the German idiom goes) "to complain on a high level".) | |||
General notes: | |||
* Parties are said to be fishing in the middle of the spectrum to get as much votes as possible. That holds the threat of weaken one's own profile / identity up to the point that some critics say they look "all the same", so the not represented borders grow. | |||
* Political apathy and politicians apathy. Besides the feeling of not being represented there is also a growing discontent of politicians clinging to their positions. No matter what mistakes they do, most often they stay in the their position. And the affected party tolerates this behavior because otherwise the political opponent can deal damage another time undermining the perceived competences for having chosen that miscast in the first place. | |||
