The Hayek Club Weimar described socialism as a beneficial business model for politicians. State benefits and subsidies created dependency and thus secured voter support, the account wrote. Politicians would thereby become suppliers and citizens clients. In contrast, capitalism posed a threat to the political class, argued the Hayek Club Weimar, because it rewarded personal responsibility, innovation, and private initiative, making people more independent of the state. Regulations intended to tame the market served, according to the account, to limit competition and protect established interests. The account also accused politicians of portraying capitalism as unjust and antisocial while presenting the state as a moral authority. The state did not want free individuals but dependent subjects, wrote the Hayek Club Weimar, linking its criticism to calls for freedom and property as well as a rejection of taxes and state coercion. #FreiheitstattKnechtschaft #SteuernsindRaub #Eigentum #Freiheit #ParasitenwegmitEuremZwang #Freiheit #Kapitalismus #Sozialismus (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that after France, the Netherlands has now also withdrawn a large part of its gold reserves from the USA, citing "geopolitical risks" as the reason. He asked the federal government whether it shares this assessment of its EU partners and what it means for the 1,200 tons of German gold in New York. To put the response from the Federal Ministry of Finance into context, Warweg explained that the federal government is the owner of the state assets stored at the Federal Reserve, valued at around 160 billion euros. The Bundesbank merely manages it on behalf of the federal government. #Goldreserven #Geopolitik #Bundesregierung (translated)

Democracy Didi criticized that the Federal Republic is not drawing the right conclusions from its recent history with two totalitarian regimes. He pointed to what he sees as contradictory restrictions on freedom of opinion and assembly, such as police visits due to a wrongly circulated post or bans on gatherings due to the risk of a cold. He also contrasted the rejection of the Gestapo and Stasi with the existence of a domestic intelligence service and criticized restrictions on same-sex expressions of affection in public. He cited the conflict between property rights and social housing needs, as well as the potential closeness of prosecutors to a Minister of the Interior as further examples. Given German history, he wrote, this makes no sense to him. #Meinungsfreiheit #Grundrechte #Totalitarismus (translated)

Our house was built during the GDR era – today we have to protect it from the state. Dear boomers, the Federal Republic of Germany has reached the socialist end stage. Those who pay nothing naturally get everything. And those who finance the whole thing are now supposed to give up their savings or even their house before they get anything from this so-called nursing insurance? What a mockery. My advice: Waste your wealth or give your children the properties "with warm hands." But don't hesitate, because the nursing fund has a 10-year deadline! After that, the property is secure. Fortunately, everything is already in safe hands for us – the house remains in the family, come what may! Did you know about this 10-year deadline?

Aber sind @spdde und @Die_Gruenen eigentlich noch ganz bei Trost, mit solchen Menschen gemeinsame Politik betreiben zu wollen? Mich würde mittlerweile auch nicht mehr wundern, wenn die ehemaligen RAF Terroristen Staub und Garweg als Spezialisten im Eigentumswechsel an den Koalitionsverhandlungen teilnehmen würden. Man, ist unsere Bundeshauptstadt #Berlin mittlerweile kaputt. Echt traurig. #Politik #Berlin #Trauer
