Es stimmt, Dass Europa ist Verloren

However I think a study of historical governance has shown again and again that democracy is always one vote away from dictatorship and that the fall from there is the shortest of all systems.....I think that the fall is going to be much faster in this era with social media. Leftist have shown their insanity and unlike previous years it is not compartmentalized anymore the moderate left and right has been tolerant but I am seeing cracks in the global scheme socialism goes against mans natural propensity for self preservation and desire to expression. Also a study of Nazism shows it was this conduct by the Government and communistic policies the created the desperation and fear that allowed Hitler to step in implement pro German policies and fix the economic decline and followed by fascist policies what became WW2.....The Germans do not seem to be able to modulate their politics they are either far left or far right...if it weren't for the tendency for them to be rule followers adhering to law Merkle would have been gone awhile ago....I see a far right leader coming again for them and much of Europe.
