“Twenty
percent of Germans believe that their current living conditions won't
be improved by reforms and only a revolution can reshape society.
That's according to a study released by the Free University of
Berlin. The study, titled 'Against the state and capital - to
revolution' focused on opposition to capitalism, fascism and racism,
and concluded that Germans are more left-wing in their attitudes than
previously thought. The challenge for the researchers was to analyze
the core structural similarities between right and left-wing
extremism.”
“Twenty
percent of respondents said they saw the rise of neo-fascism in
Germany as a real danger, while 48 percent said they believe a
deep-rooted xenophobia currently exists in Germany. And a majority of
Germans – 62 percent – said that German democracy isn't real
democracy, because it's economy-driven.”
“Another
claim in the study, led by Professor Klaus Schroeder, was that there
had been a clear spike in “left-wing violence” in recent years,
with police and right-wing extremists being the most common targets.
An attack on a Leipzig police station in January may have been an
example of this far-left violent protest, Schroeder said. The
incident saw 50 hooded people attacking a neighborhood police
station, setting fire to a patrol car, throwing rocks, bottles and
paint bombs against the security glass.”
