Deutsche Sozialdemokratie ist, wenn man sich bei günstiger Gelegenheit als (bürgerlich) antifaschistisch in der Öffentlichkeit inszeniert, während man sich gleichzeitig an seinen "post"-faschistischen Vorbildern orientiert, um einen Krieg gegen Menschen auf der Flucht zu führen.
Und während sie gerne mal was von "gemeinsames Europa" faseln (ist damit eine neue Achse Berlin-Rom gemeint?), errichten die #SPD und ihre eifrige Vorratsdaten-Nancy ein strammes Außen- und Binnen-Grenzregime.
