My apologies, an honest mistake on my part. I was under the impression that many of the founders of die Grünen were ex-Maoists. Still, that, in a way, makes it worse. I'd expect a former worshipper of Chairman Mao to knuckle under to power - not someone who used to understand the value of spontaneous action from below.
By the way, I must say that I don't understand your other post. In what way were the Nazi or Stalinist regimes "pure and principled"? Do you mean they had an ideology? Of course they did, but do you think that the actually-existing BRD doesn't have an ideology? It's just that it's more and more the ideology of neo-liberalism and less the ideology of the "social market".
You (subtly) accuse me of elevating purity of principle above the reality of human life - well, and just what are the Union parties and the "traffic light" parties doing but exactly that, with their worship of the globalised free market? Everyone's got an ideology. Some are more honest than others.
