Germany in Shock

The riots in France have spread to Germany: burning trash cans, looted stores, and injured police officers: the Generation Z protests, which had begun peacefully on the afternoon of Saturday, November 28, ended on the night of Saturday into Sunday just as critics had feared: in an orgy of violence.

Under cover of darkness, a violent mob—which had hijacked the student protests—gave free rein to its blind and destructive fury. The violence was particularly intense in Frankfurt. But violent riots also broke out in other major German cities such as Berlin, Cologne, and Stuttgart.

What happened in Germany’s major cities was not a sudden outburst of excess testosterone driven by youthful recklessness. Rather, these were attacks planned well in advance against the Western social order. To this end, thousands of professional activists are on the payroll. They have mastered the strategy of hijacking a nonviolent demonstration, transforming it into a campaign of destruction and arson, by exploiting the heightened yet repressed emotions of people who were initially nonviolent.

But who is pulling the strings behind this manipulation? Strong suspicion falls on the globalists of the 2030 Agenda, who want to destroy the current world order. It is hard not to see parallels with the COVID-19 pandemic, the “woke” movement, and so on. Through corruption, leading countries in particular have fallen into the clutches of those who manipulate them at will.

The excessive violence was perpetrated by “left-wing groups and rioters from immigrant backgrounds,” https://thinktanklatam.org/alianza-de-islamistas-con-la-izquierda/, as Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt openly acknowledged. By this, he was referring to the two greatest challenges facing German society, beyond the progressive decline of its economic capacity: parallel societies of immigrant origin and left-wing anti-capitalism. Both have joined forces in the struggle against Western society; both are united by hatred of the Christian-Western tradition and the capitalist economic order.

The Bitter Fruits of the ’68 Movement

Terrorist-style violence is the consequence of constant Marxist-tinged indoctrination in the education sector. Left-wing extremists are the wayward children and grandchildren of the ’68 movement. The anti-capitalist mindset was instilled in them, so to speak, from the cradle: in schools, universities, churches, and the media, where the 1968 generation—following its successful march through the institutions—has for decades held a monopoly on interpretation, pushing young people toward a distorted view of reality through a Marxist lens.

The hatred of immigrants—who are prone to violence—toward the Western system—even though in Germany, of all places, it offers them a generous guarantee of subsistence, even without any effort on their part—is fueled by a mixture of aspirations for religious domination, a premodern worldview, and an inability to integrate linguistically or acquire job skills.

Crimes Against Property

Nothing better illustrates the hatred toward Western capitalist society than the rampant violence against private property, the consequences of which can be seen in shattered windows and looted stores. Private property is, after all, the fundamental building block of the capitalist economic order. Whoever destroys it brings down capitalism. This term has a negative connotation, and here we use it to refer to the free-market system, subject to legal constraints that prevent potential abuses.

In the parliamentary group rooms of the Berlin House of Representatives, attacks on private property are being prepared in recent weeks in a more subtle—but by no means less dangerous—manner. There, the party Die Linke (The Left) is forging close ties with both left-wing extremists and immigration-related organized crime circles, aiming to form a coalition government with the SPD and the Greens. One of its top priorities: the expropriation of large private real estate companies.

The Struggle for Better Ideas and Values

The rule of law, which relies solely on the force of its legal provisions, must therefore have the support of politicians and citizens if Western society is to withstand the onslaught of its enemies. Two things are required. First, politicians must gain control of the situation.

Second, the middle class must take up the cultural struggle against left-wing anti-capitalism. This struggle begins in schools, where entrepreneurship and capitalism are often branded as insidious forms of exploitation. The fight against anti-capitalism requires perseverance. It must be based on information and the merit of the best ideas. Without a return to Christian culture, there are no valid alternatives: that is what gave the West its greatness: https://thinktanklatam.org/la-iglesia-catolica-y-la-grandeza-de-occidente/

This “Kulturkampf” is worth fighting. For it is capitalism, bourgeois values, and the idea of freedom that underpin the West’s prosperity, inspired by the Christian view of humanity. An important part of this struggle is recognizing capitalism’s great historical error: that it has so often failed to pursue the well-being of wage earners, under the guise of a misguided conception of economic freedom.
