For Germany, this is a huge move to the left \u2013 at least in government. They also say that Europe will be strongly supported. I guess that means shoveling money to Brussels and raising it via more and more taxes. Now, I researched everything you wrote about the ride of the right-wing parties in Europe and the separatist movements. I would be interested in your thought on how this plays out. E.g. Germany with its left-wing government. It rather seems to be the case that government will become more and more left-wing. Just as in the Weimar Republic. So I do not think that a right-wing could have enough political force to take power, also since Antifa is MUCH more violent and also more powerful than the right. Politicians blame the right for many things, violent events etc, while in fact, it is a rather docile movement with very little power and if so, only in the hands of individuals who do hardly organize since it really is the promotion of individualism vs group-think (left) and group movements. So from a logical standpoint, it seems rather likely to have the socialist agenda gain power. I know you say it is coming to an end. I trust you are correct. Socialism does not work and people might notice at some point. But it seems to be in a quite distant future still. Could you elaborate on that? Will Immigration finally win and move Europe and Germany into a new societal form? Finally, the European left-wingers are actually importing authoritarianism. Which very ironic since they probably think they are importing voters.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, Marty.<br \/>\nBest, SP.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"fancybox image\" href=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Lenin-Stalin.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-76036 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Lenin-Stalin.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 429px) 100vw, 429px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Lenin-Stalin.jpg 674w, https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Lenin-Stalin-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Lenin-Stalin-180x143.jpg 180w, https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Lenin-Stalin-600x475.jpg 600w\" alt=\"\" width=\"429\" height=\"340\" \/><\/a>ANSWER:<\/strong>\u00a0Oh yes. I do not think most people outside of Germany understand that. Merkel lost control. To keep power, she had to create a Grand Coalition with the SPD, which has been the Northern socialists with origins that go back to the Weimer Republic and the Communist Revolution. The SPD took power for both they and the CDU of Merkel realized that going back to the people would result in both parties losing even more ground. This is highlighted particularly after the Italian election. I have <strong>NEVER<\/strong> been asked for a meeting by anyone in the SPD. They have always fundamentally been opponents of anything my computer has forecast. They have <strong>NEVER<\/strong> been interested in what is economically best for the people \u2013 they are only interested in imposing their will upon the people because they do not see the same light they do.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Left v Right \u2013 Why the Western Society is Really Collapsing \u00a0 QUESTION:\u00a0Hi Marty, we just saw the German elections play out.
