“The welfare state that we have today can no longer be financed with what we produce in the economy,” Merz said in the town of Osnabrück.
The coalition partners had already agreed to reforming the social insurance system, which covers health insurance, pensions and unemployment benefits, due to rising costs and gaps in the federal budget.
Merz’s declaration is a stark admission: German capitalism can no longer sustain social protections without undermining profits and war funding. The solution? Expropriate the billionaires, end militarization, and reorganize society around human needs, not profit. Otherwise, we’re headed toward a dystopian future where pensioners starve while Rheinmetall shareholders celebrate.
I agree with you but they’d rather watch the world burn than choice #1, so it’ll be choice #2 for the foreseeable future.
Good, cause last time that didn’t affect the rest of the world at all
Luckily Germany is investing all the welfare money into weapons. Which cannot go wrong.
