The offensive of the political class

Pensioners do not take to the streets.

 They depend on the government's goodwill. The government approves pension increases depending on the state of the budget. Decisions to adjust pensions for inflation are made in so-called package solutions, which include all possible benefits that should actually be included in the regular state budget. As a result, the amount of pensions increasingly reflects less and less of the individual's contribution over a working life. Therefore, contributions to pension funds are largely perceived as an individual tax, and undeclared work is considered justified.

For large parts of the population, the available pension has become increasingly smaller over the last few years.

Prof. C. Kreiß:

"The official real gross domestic product per capita, adjusted for purchasing power, is lower today than it was five years ago. It was $2024 in 62.800 and $2019 in 62.900. Real economic power per capita in Germany has stagnated since 2018.

According to the Federal Statistical Office, real wages in Germany were lower in the first quarter of 2025 than in the first quarter of 2019.2 According to official figures, working people today earn less in real terms, i.e. adjusted for inflation, than they did five years ago.

A look at the number of people using food banks also demonstrates that life is getting worse for those at the bottom of the poverty line in Germany. Today, around 1,5 to 2 million people use food banks, compared to around 2018 million in 1,5 and around one million in 2010.9

Poverty in Germany is clearly increasing. Even a walk through various German inner cities, especially in the train station districts, impressively demonstrates how misery, hardship, homelessness, drug victims, neglect, indifference, and fear of crime, especially among women, are openly increasing in the streets. Such conditions were unthinkable 30 years ago."

But the profit rate of capital is also falling and the decline can only be stopped by increased labor performance, hence the incessant attempts of political representatives

  • to soften the eight-hour day,
  • to extend working life, etc.
  • Prominent entrepreneurs like Grupp grumble about doctors issuing sick notes.
  • And the thirty-five-hour week for all workers is out of reach.
  • Well-known economists such as Fratzscher are used to justify the alleged necessity of pensioner work.  
  • Other economists cite demographics as a reason: retirees will no longer consume what they have created, but will instead live off the labor of the next generation. This generation will shrink, and retirees will therefore have to make do with ever-decreasing incomes.

Not a word about the squandering of society's wealth through subsidies for the arms industry. Six thousand tanks are to be built, each costing forty million euros. Germany is to build the largest army in Europe.

To justify this, Russia and China are portrayed as enemies. Wadephul says, "Russia will forever remain our enemy."

Is this sentence based on the hope of invading Russia with NATO troops and seizing its natural resources? The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Süddeutsche Zeitung, and Tagesschau would then speak of a defensive war ("starting at 5:45 a.m., we'll fire back"). Bundeswehr troops in Ukraine would already be good preparation.

Has Merz not yet gotten over the German defeat against the Soviet troops? Does he consider the bullets that hit the Reichstag building a disgrace? Megalomania and revanchist ideology are a disastrous pair.

However, the FAZ, SZ, Spiegel and Tagesschau, which applaud the war course, are losing influence, and the politically alert part of the population does not want to start a “defensive war” in Ukraine with German participation.

The war against the deadly virus has opened the eyes of many people.

  1. "And of course, the German pension system is a pay-as-you-go pension system, in which the currently working population has to finance the pensions of current retirees through their taxes. This system must have produced surpluses en masse when the Boomers were working. Surpluses were squandered by political criminals, so that today, pampered figures like Marcel, who have never done any physical work in their lives, can come along and pretend that the missing money is the fault of today's retirees and not the result of raids by political criminals on social security funds."

  2. “In South Tyrol, there has been a dramatic, abrupt drop in births since 2022, which cannot be explained solely by economic and sociological reasons that already existed before and led to a steady decline in births.

    The mRNA vaccination campaign continues to ensure a further reduction in population, which is supposedly good for the planet. The effects of vaccine damage are particularly dramatic in a decline in birth rates. In 2022, about nine months after the start of vaccination, a significant decline in birth rates began for the corresponding age group. The decline is not a temporary phenomenon and thus indicates ongoing damage.

    "For the first time since Merkel opened the border, unemployment is above 3 million. Whether it's a steelworker in Duisburg or an engineer in Stuttgart: the situation will worsen because Habeck/EU have set the wrong course and the black-red coalition is not changing anything.

    Background: A small selection of anti-business policies since the border was opened in 2015:

    • Multiple increases in the CO2 tax
    • Huge increase in social security contributions
    • Trade, gastronomy and services were permanently damaged by lockdowns
    • Combustion, heating and other bans, some in force, some casting their shadows
    • Refusal to commission NordStream (one line is intact, the rest could be repaired)
    • Demolition of modern power plants as evidence of a death drive: Moorburg, Grundremmingen …
    • Economic war against Russia and soon in the 19th package also against the rest of the world
    • Creation of tens of thousands of civil service positions and even an entire ministry under the guise of “reducing bureaucracy”
    • More and more regulations such as minimum wage, collective bargaining agreement, minimum brake…
    • Largest national debt in peacetime, which is now to be permanently escalated

    Merz and Klingbeil are seamlessly continuing the economic policy of the "traffic light" coalition. Anyone who believes they can lead Germany out of a profound structural crisis with a paltry degressive depreciation rate is a fool."

  4. "Constant immigration is only needed in countries whose social systems are designed as Ponzi schemes, which require ever-increasing numbers of social security contributors to cover the costs of a social system whose revenues have been diverted and stolen by political gangsters for decades. If, for example, pension insurance revenues exclusively benefited those who had paid pension contributions, the contributions would not be diverted and used to buy political supporters, and the surpluses of the Boomer generation would easily cover the costs of the Boomer pension system, without the need to constantly increase social security contributions and constantly reduce benefits in order to plug the holes.

    Meanwhile, political gangsters have stolen the Boomers' contributions and want to once again evade responsibility by stylizing those who were robbed as a funding problem."

    "This decision is wrong and arbitrary on the part of the minister. Of course, fundamental reforms are needed to combat abuse of the #citizen's allowance, but not to effectively cut single parents, who are often unable to work due to a lack of daycare places, and workers who have paid in for a long time, lose their jobs due to poor economic policy, and slip into the #citizen's allowance after a short time. Given rising food and energy prices, a #freeze will make people even poorer. Billions continue to flow to #Ukraine, and the poor here will face a hammer blow. This is a foretaste of what's to come: social cuts to finance military spending. The conservative-red coalition is deepening social divisions in Germany!"

  8. "It should be obvious that the German Bundesbank cannot absorb a default of €1 trillion, which currently exists "only" on paper but will become "payable" if the eurozone collapses, without going into serious trouble. Meanwhile, the eurozone member states continue to teeter on the edge. No country feels compelled to save or cut its own spending. On the contrary, the view has spread that the money is coming from the central bank.

    This already largely hopeless situation is now further worsened by S&P's downgrade of France's credit rating. This means that France will have to raise more money than before to cover the large amounts of debt it has accumulated. Currently, the debt corresponds to 1,13 times France's gross domestic product (for comparison: Germany: 0,69 GDP, Portugal: 0,98 GDP, Spain: 1,02 GBP, Italy: 1,35 GDP, Greece: 1,54 GDP). This will require more interest and more repayments to compensate the country's creditors for the increased risk they take when they purchase government bonds. This will make France an increasing burden on the eurozone, which is largely borne by the ailing German economy and the Bundesbank, which is hoarding Target II claims on other eurozone countries.
