    all correct. but to be fair: not even the left of that time actually cared about the working class.

    the ideologically motivated for sure, pretty sure you would have found them on the extreme right too - somewhere. but the regimes, which sprung out of any ideology of that time cared nothing than in propaganda for working people and the weak.

    nowadays it is difficult as well, to find any social security better than lip service and improvement of statistics.

      That may be true, but what I can say is that people in Germany are much better off today, much, much better - if you have even a modicum of common sense, it’s incomprehensible to me how this shit can still be going on today.

        not arguing against that. just pointing out that regimes of that time used to do a lot of talking, if it comes to taking care of their people. not that much of doing.

          And you are absolutely right to emphasize this, precisely because the lessons of history seem to have been forgotten in the US, Germany, and elsewhere in the world: Think for yourself, inform yourself independently and according to comprehensible, objective criteria (which is entirely possible today, unlike in the past), and do not believe politicians unquestioningly - no matter what “coleur” they might come in.
