Political entertainment instead of concern for the poor and old

Now Habeck (green boss) and Nahles (SPD boss) have noticed that their voters do not want to live at the expense of the lower class. The intensification of class antagonisms has moved to the center of attention for what is likely to be a brief period of time, although the political class and the media are constantly trying to portray migration as the root of all evil. Not only Seehofer was particularly zealous in this (“migration is the mother of all problems”), the other right wing and social democrats also tried desperately to bring the migration issue to the fore. The class antagonism that was previously downplayed is all the more pronounced. In order to reassure the respective clientele, Habeck and Nahles ramble about basic income and remain vague. Who pays the health insurance contributions and who should pay basic security at all. is not communicated. Billions are mentioned, terms are mixed up, it is already known that all the contributions made by these politicians are not meant seriously, they are the usual political gossip that will be replaced by the condemnation of a terrorist attack or complaints about climate change.

If the proposals were meant seriously, the billions outflows into the tax havens would be stopped first. And the protagonists would explicitly distance themselves from the Schröder-Fischer laws. But they do not want that. They want to put a nicer coat on neoliberal politics; In no case should the macroeconomic law be violated, that the supply of labor must always be higher than the demand, so that no wages beyond the protection of the subsistence level, must be paid. Coercion and violence should continue to be reserved for the underclass. And the unemployed engineer should continue to know that he is expected in the case of his unemployment to bake bread in the bakery at night. It went even under Kohl social.

This pressure has greatly aggravated the working climate. Habeck and Nahles do not want to change that, but they make a rattle of words and confuse concepts that could make the audience dizzy. And everyone knows he has more work to do and even 67 than less.
