6 charts to help Americans understand the upcoming German elections
A few points from a German:<p>It is not true that the Left is more liberal. They are more socialist, which is simply not listed in these article&#x27;s diagrams. A strong socialist pariticipation in Germany results from a huge part of it being under Soviet control for a few decades.<p>It is also not true that neither top party has aimed at the social system. Both actually do try to minimize it. But they frame it into pro-social-system-wording because otherwise the people would start to fight them.<p>In terms of climate change we actually found a great way to  make a profit from it. Since we are one of the high tech leaders in the world and climate save technologies are usually high tech, we can use that to gain bigger global market shares in many markets that were locked up previously.<p>Why is 3000€ considered high income? Is that post-tax? Pretax it&#x27;s less than what Germans would expect with a college degree or higher.<p>I consider myself liberal, education, high tech focussed. But I would also agree that Islam is political and not just religious. Just look at its history. That statement alone doesn&#x27;t mean one should fight Islam. The bad thing about hte AfD is that they want to fight Muslems. Educated people of course frown upon discriminating on such a simple fact.
