Default Germany Proud of Persecuting Dissidents

Germany Proud of Persecuting Dissidents

By Santiago Alvarez

Every year the German government proudly present numbers of its persecution of peaceful dissidents, which it lumps together with violent criminals as "enemies of the [German] constitution." Never mind that Germany doesn't even have a constitution...

On July 18 of this year, the German government released the figures of government persecution for the year 2011 as printed in its Report on the Protection of the Constitution (Verfassungschutzbericht). According to this, 13,865 criminal investigations were launched in 2011 against individuals for either committing "propaganda offenses" (11,401 cases) or for saying or writing something that was deemed capable of "stirring up the people" (2,464 cases; see p. 28 of the new Report). That is a 1.5% increase of cases compared to the previous year (13,663 cases total in 2010). All of these offenses are grouped under "right-wing extremism." The lists of offenses committed by left-wing extremists or foreign extremists do not have these categories, which basically means that only patriots, nationalists and the like can commit such "thought crimes" in Germany.

After all, "right-wing," "Nazi," and "evil" are synonymous in Germany. The German penal law even implicitly states that only right-wingers can commit "thought crimes." This makes Germany the only country in the history of mankind where expressions of love for ones country, which in many cases is socially unacceptable anyway, has even become illegal under many circumstances.
