==== | ====Political currents and parties==== | ||
===== | =====Evolutionary perspective===== | ||
It is human to see one's own opinion and that of one's group (party) as the superior one, but as a true democrat one should internalize that every non-extremist movement has its right to exist. A '''mutual understanding''' is important to live in peaceful coexistence. -- Considering its relevance, the aspect of the '''self-correction of democratic systems''' is neglected in school lessons and is quickly forgotten. Before election campaigns, people have to be repeatedly encouraged to vote, but this doesn't bring the actual "why" back to mind. '''Instead''' there is too much focus on '''the advantage of one's own group''', which promotes '''ideological hostilities''' between parties and - which, among '''many other factors''' - leads to '''disenchantment with politics'''. This is how thinking about democracy degenerates: "Democracy is nothing more than [[wp:Mob_rule|mob rule]], where 51% of the people take away the rights of the other 49%." (Many people no longer realize how consumed they are by hate.) | |||

A potential splinter party. [https://www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/plus249801684/Dava-Wie-Erdogan-Lobbyisten-mit-einer-Partei-ihren-Einfluss-in-Deutschland-ausbauen-wollen.html Orientation:] Islamistic, Turkish nationalistic, romanticizing Erdogan. The SPD would probably lose most of the votes. Overall, DAVA is another symptom of an inefficient integration policy that has created a completely unnecessary representation vacuum. In this context, the imam training, which [https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/gesellschaft/islamkolleg-104.html Germany took over] much too late, should also be mentioned. | |||

This disregard and the economically liberal focus repeatedly brings the liberals close to the 5% hurdle and makes them vulnerable to lobbying and ''mercenarism''. Sometimes one favors the other. -- Against large donations the industry and economy expect a radical market economy policy or a policy that is exactly tailored to the respective donor. In part, this can have a reactionary, an anti-progressive and a paradoxical effect: new technologies are prevented in order to protect existing business models and prevent the dynamics of a free market. In this way, anti-liberal policies is done by the liberals themselves. -- Free thinking and acting of the liberals [https://archive.is/fW7lc is increasingly hindered by lobbyists]. | This disregard and the economically liberal focus repeatedly brings the liberals close to the 5% hurdle and makes them vulnerable to lobbying and ''mercenarism''.

A natural "five percent party" due to their core clientele: "bankers, managers, bosses" (plus freelancers and founders). With money fueled PR they most often surpass 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 has run out. -- They are a traditional "king maker" party, most often for CDU. | A natural "five percent party" due to their core clientele: "bankers, managers, bosses" (plus freelancers and founders).

To lesser degree the (center-left) SPD, in majority the (far-left) Linke: '''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. | To lesser degree the (center-left) SPD, in majority the (far-left) Linke: '''Leftists''' put the social aspects over profit and '''fight for those who need the most help'''.

On the one hand, the social question still existed in a weakened form, on the other hand, more and more of the really bad working conditions were outsourced, so that the social democrats experienced a loss of importance. In the meantime, they were not able to acquire any significant new groups of voters in terms of volume. -- But this is the curse of all parties in successfully and democratically managed national economies. At some point, the big issues are so polished that further optimizations entail debates that become more and more complex and thus more incomprehensible and ''boring''.

Last but not least: In the face of multiple crises neoliberal<!--😈-->-acting Scholz was unable to push his government in time to substantially improve the situation around migration, integration, housing construction, industrialization, (de)bureaucracy and digitization. To rise the overall mood the Ampel gov tried to communicate that they have realized many other promises. You could say this is technically true but people don't really care because it doesn't change the fact that these projects aren't on '''their''' priority list. | On the one hand, the social question still existed in a weakened form, on the other hand, more and more of the really bad working conditions were outsourced, so that the social democrats experienced a loss of importance.

"The East German party." Marginalized themselves by inner fights and are perceived as ideological dead stranded. Meanwhile they lost two of three major heads: [[wp:de:Oskar_Lafontaine|Lafontaine]] and Wagenknecht. Sometimes they become collateral damage by strategic voting when their voters ballot for CDU, SPD and Greens to prevent AfD. | "The East German party."

Depending on how pressing the social question is (especially due to unemployment, low wages and precarious employment conditions), the political reservoir of the social democrats and thus of the Linke grows or shrinks (theoretically). -- The Linke should actually be a wing of the Social Democrats, but due to its historical (SED) past it has a harder ideological core, which to this day mainly affects the "new federal states" (East Germany) and thus (still) maintains its political weight. Due to old RAF connections/sympathies and members with left-wing extremist views, the Linke is still partially monitored by the Verfassungsschutz. In the long term, the party will probably permanently fall below the 5% threshold. | Depending on how pressing the social question is (especially due to unemployment, low wages and precarious employment conditions), the political reservoir of the social democrats and thus of the Linke grows or shrinks (theoretically). -- The Linke should actually be a wing of the Social Democrats, but due to its historical (SED) past it has a harder ideological core, which to this day mainly affects the "new federal states" (East Germany) and thus (still) maintains its political weight.
