Mehr Anarchie, die Herrschaften!

Wolfgang Herles takes stock of the damage done to the Berlin Republic. The prosperity of the Germans is melting faster than the ice in the Arctic. A fog of incompetence, self-overestimation, denial of reality, bureaucratic self-tying, and ideological blindness hangs over the country. Who should dispel it if not the Germans themselves! Herles sharply analyzes the failures of the political class, critiques moralism, conformism, and state worship, and calls for profound reforms and more direct democracy. A provocative manifesto for the revitalization of German democracy and the unleashing of the civic center, because "without anarchic desire, things cannot improve" (Wolfgang Herles).
