11/24/14, "Apocalypse Comes Spring - the Greens are running out of topics," Die Welt, Ulf Poschardt, Deputy Chief Editor, Commentary. google translation from German
In the historical materialism of the destruction of the bourgeois world
was anticipated in the course of the world revolution, the
environmentalism resulted in a "unhappy end", where people only when the
last tree has been cut, the last river poisoned, the last fish is
caught, would realize you can not eat money.
The Greens have both operated and fueled social and ecological fears.
Whether or acid rain forest dieback, ozone hole or nuclear energy - the
Greens were and are masters of the inner needs of the Germans, so
irrational as they may be to use. The disruption of the Green reflects their constituents and the country.
Germany, which are poets and thinkers, but also natural romantics and
engineers, waste separator and speeders, Neuland meat fetishists and
Aldi savers..
Often Green was an invisibility cloak for red
Who chose the open, then felt better. He had done something good, saved the world a bit. The land of the - some of unbridled - economic miracle was missed a meritorious sustainability guardrail, the relentless use of resources attacked before the controlling departments of the companies did so for reasons of efficiency.
Since political parties like how the CSU realized early Christian
motifs from the protection of creation as directions for action and the
FDP ownership of the consumer in its ecological dimension - it was the
Greens, who were thus identified since the early 80s. The name helped. He was clear and unambiguous.
Often Green was only the cloak of invisibility for red. Theoretically alive was the heritage left by the Greens. The Greens are today smartest purified Maoists, Trotskyists, hardcare communists.
The intellectual brilliance of Trittin was quite the solution of the
social question, redistribution, and a bourgeois anti-capitalism
committed. The Ecological had taught him.
After the retirement of alpha animals such as Trittin and Claudia Roth,
the new leadership of the Green wanders through the political
landscape.
.
This also has the lack of employment and often inadequate to deal with the cultural history of ecological thinking. The Greens are mainly the children of Martin Heidegger in their leitmotif.
The still controversial German philosopher of the 20th century was
revolutionary and conservative at the same time, the sharpest critics of
modern technology and its alienation tornadoes.
"Rule of the frame" called the Swabian wooden hut dwellers the dictates of engineers. You should be terminated by a "Return". This bend understand Heidegger as the most unlikely case of world events. She was a kind of miracle, something that can only succeed if people are torn from their "forgetfulness of Being".
The Greens were obviously more pragmatic. She channeled the popular and populist reservations technology and modern life and beat understandable solutions.
It called for no Heideggerian turn, but only a departure from the
technology and a retreat to a more conscious, more modest life that left
less CO2 traces on the planet.
This
was also an ethical compensation for their affluent voters. To date,
Travelling green voters and especially much more by air than the voters
of any other party. Was seen and Green Select a penance for those who still consume better qua income - and do it well..
There is a risk of stress fracture
The green flagship municipalities have totalized junk charm the left WG. Whether free Republic of Wendland or the eco-district in Freiburg-Vauban: The green painted remix of the bourgeois status quo seems getting old. The loss of beauty and harmony through the blessings of modernity have other illustrated.
Hollywood, for example.
Blockbusters such as "2001", "The Dances with Wolves" and especially
the pop-heideggerianische masterpiece "The Last Samurai" reflected the
ratio of progress, happiness and modernity exciting and more profound
than the noisy barren and often opportunistic debates of the
countryside.
In the fourth decade of its existence, the apocalyptic narrative approaches an end. There is a risk of stress fracture. The mantra-like invocation of doom has hardly excitation potential. And the much-maligned art shines with discoveries that were formerly classified in the mythical realm of science fiction..
Conversion of CO2 into oil and gasoline
Nuclear fusion could in ten years, provide energy, architects build
skyscrapers that produce more energy than they consume, 900-horsepower
sports car can be moved with three liters of gasoline, the conversion of
CO2 into oil and gasoline is on the verge of series production.
Contemporary capitalism has adopted the innovation challenge by the ecology. Green thinkers like Ralf Fücks have recognized this, without sacrificing their apocalypticism. The Hyperrealos in the southwest of the country to discover the SMEs as an authentic resource saver and efficiency magician.
The party at the weekend has shown that the Greens run out of topics
after the nuclear phase-out and the mainstream environmentalism. Anton Hofreiters effort to promote the "Return" in agriculture, goes in the right direction. But capitalism has long recognized this. The Greens will it hardly needed.
They begin to sound like a nostalgic project. The Zeitgeist after 40 years Apocalypse tired of pessimism. Engineers and scientists swim in a sea of hopes and concrete breakthroughs. Who needs the Greens still when air, water and food are clean?" via Climate Depot, via No Tricks Zone
