I was right! This is all some devious underhand conspiracy by the former East Germans who have infiltrated the European Union and taken over power. Communism shall not only be restored, but it shall be expanded to the whole of Europe (for starters) and in a new improved version.
That is none of your sissy welfare nonsense like health care and education. No. Those have to go first of all.
And that is indeed how the great European scam is proceeding. First bang the pretentious middle to lower class over the head hard rendering them senseless. You have to do this, because all that riff raff dream of is emulating the life style of the capitalist class with cars and washing machines and paid holidays. And since this new Communism is based on the protestant work ethic as well (it is a concoction by the former East Germans after all) we can have none of that.
The first stage of this devious war on capitalism has been quite successfully carried out in Europe where recession has set in, unemployment has soared and those greedy lower class scum aspiring to a materially better tomorrow have now been made destitute.
Second and more important stage. Deprive capitalist banking of all credibility. No more security anywhere any more. Savers are not savers! No! They are investors and should be punished for wallowing in all that capitalist decadence by having their investments confiscated. As for those with “guaranteed” deposits of under 100,000 Euro, don’t worry. When the banks collapse one by one, just who do you suppose will be in a position to honour such a hollow guarantee?
That’s right! You guessed it! The savers themselves! They will not lose their savings, it’s just that these will go down the black plughole which they themselves will be called upon to plug. In that brilliant East German (il)logic that has taken hold. Ha ha!
So since we are well on the way to ruining the banking system after having ruined what is known as the “real” economy, we must now make sure everything goes to plan.
The rich must pay! Yes! The rich are bad people and must be punished! So, says Peter Bofinger, advisor to Frau Merkel, after confiscating their deposits we must do something better, because now they have got wind of our plan they will spirit their savings out of Europe. So now we must go ahead and confiscate their very property through exorbitant taxation.
Sort of like Ceasescu did in Romania, and as we have seen, it has been working rather well in that dreadful guinea pig Greece.
There used to be Socialism with a human face, but now the Wast Germans have managed to impose their own brand of Communism with a totally dehumanised face.
Wake up somebody!!!
