Protest bans, property seizures, and a communist-style move away from the market-based free enterprise will characterise a new left-wing German government, according to German historian Reiner Zitelmann. Germans go to the polls this September. The term Globalism is just another name change. Bolshevism morphed into Communism and the (international) Socialism and then into Globalism. The aims are the same as the original Comintern (Communist International).

For the first time since the early 1920s when party activists of Hitler’s NSDAP parties battled to prevent the Bolshevik seizure of post-World War I Germany, the Reds are on the brink of seizure of the Bundestag. History is not likely to repeat itself as Adolf Hitler, the NSDAP and the then Germans with enough backbone to prevent a Communist seizure has gone on the winds of time.

Never in the history of Germany has the position of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) been so precarious in the election polls, emphasises historian and sociologist Reiner Zitelmann. In a comment to the National Interest portal. He pointed to April last year when the party of the current chancellor, Angela Merkel, led with 38 percent of support. However, currently, the CDU is polling between only 21 and 24 percent.

‘Above all, it seems that the left-of-center Social Democratic Party (SPD) as out and out Marxist as Spain’s PSOE is succeeding in deceiving voters to an extent that is also unparalleled in the history of the Federal Republic.’

The Social Democrats have strengthened by 10 percent in recent polls bringing it to victory potential, mainly thanks to their leader Olaf Scholz, who is deceptively perceived as a relatively moderate politician. This is the reason why the party ultimately chose the moderate Scholz as the electoral leader is the same as the reasoning why U.S. Democrats chose Joe Biden as their presidential candidate.

‘They hope to use Olaf Scholz to mobilize moderate voters who are not as far to the left as the party’s traditional base,’ explains the historian.

Die Linke promotes widespread state ownership, taxation of up to 75 percent, and withdrawal from NATO. He adds that just a few months ago, the new party leader, Janine Wissler, was a member of a radical Trotskyist group.

The basic agenda of the left-wing Greens is the protection of the environment and the fight against climate change. The far left’s agenda is supported by a large part of the German media, including the state television networks. Most journalists are not hiding their allegiance for the Marxist party. A coalition of the SPD, the Greens, and Die Linke already rule in Berlin and the latter party has spoken out in favour of a campaign to seize real estate property from companies that own over 3,000 rental apartments in the city.

Political freedom in the German capital is also under pressure, says the sociologist. He mentions, in particular, the right to demonstrate. Left-wing assemblies are commonly allowed as at the same time gatherings of opponents of government anti-coronavirus restrictions are banned or dispersed by the police.

Zitelmann believes that the September elections in Germany may be a moment that will radically change the country’s political map for the coming years.
