Nowadays people like to gossip about formulas that will not be lost if no one ever utters them. Fortunately, many keywords and phrases disappear on their own. But there are also lost expressions that are remembered with sadness because of their brevity. This includes a sentence that we now have to think about more often: “Then go there!”
Boomers still know that it was not a call to change sides of the road, but to move to the GDR or to the zone, as it was called by many Wessis until the fall of the Wall and now called again by some when they see the election results. The beneficiaries of the imperative to move on were largely people who saw the “FRG” as a single capitalist disaster and the GDR as a better Germany.
The AfD should ensure order as the SED did at the time
This better Germany no longer exists because, if memory is not completely misleading, most of the Ossis wanted to be part of the worse Germany and threatened to collectively hand over to us Wessis if their wishes were not fulfilled. Meanwhile, most of the Germans who remained in the East no longer seem able to explain how they came up with this stupid idea. Many of them now vote for the AfD in the hope of restoring order, unity and one-party rule as the SED did at that time. And of course also to restore unbreakable friendship with Russia, which in reality is not an invader, but rather a protector against Western decadence and a supplier of cheap gas.
No party offers as much solace as the AfD to people who miss these good old days, as you can see in the percentages. At the forefront of those who understand Russia is the leader of the AfD party and parliamentary group Chrupalla, who doesn’t understand why anyone should be afraid of Putin: After all, he hasn’t done anything to him, Chrupalla – although members of the AfD, by his own admission, are also dissidents like the dissidents Putin has liquidated at home and abroad, one of them in broad daylight in the middle of the German capital.
But dissident Chrupalla was not criticizing the regime in Moscow, but rather the regime in Berlin, whose secret services may have been behind the attack on him, as he whispered to Lanz. And in Wilhelm Busch’s “Painter Klecksel” it is said: “Politicians especially take complete pleasure in speaking. And when he says something, so be it, you are sure he knows it.”
Berthold Kohler:
“Fraktur – The politics of madness”
The new anthology with “fracture” is not just about Donald Trump.
Why should Putin harm his poodle or, better yet, his brush, as the master painter of Görlitz is affectionately known by members of his party? Putin does not have a loyal following of his propaganda in Germany. This means – learning from Chrupalla means learning to speculate – is clearly the reason why the brush must continue to survive in our polluted left-green country and have not been allowed to move to the promised land like the 3,000 Germans who are said to have emigrated to Russia last year.
They seem to find Putin’s views as convincing as Chrupalla’s. Moreover, the real people in Russia will soon have a special mission in Ukraine and not just free fitness tests in our hip training studios, which should no longer smell like floor wax because that is considered too intimidating for our future fighters.
Wagenknecht can show how beautiful Putin’s paradise is
But if the brush has not been allowed to go to Moscow because he has to lead the fifth column of doom painters here – Weidel distrusts Putin because of his flirtation with America – then Wagenknecht, who has freed himself from party slavery, can now show everyone around the world how wonderful life is in Putin’s paradise.
Where could he get more inspiration for his work on BSW’s core values than in Moscow? The Communist International (later abbreviated to KI), which was working towards world revolution, was also headquartered there. Brushes should be nothing to envy at all. Like his colleague Klecksel, he could say to himself: “But the one who buys paint and paints with it will gain greater fame.”
