The neo-liberal FRG regime continues targeting dissidents.

Snip:

Earlier this month, GLS Bank informed the German Communist Party (DKP) that all of its accounts would be discontinued effective December 31.

According to the DKP, GLS Bank did not provide any reason for its decision but had previously requested information about the party’s fundraising campaign for Cuba.

[…]

Klaus Leger, head of the finance committee at the DKP, told NachDenkSeiten media outlet that bank representatives had suggested in a phone conversation with him that “there had been external pressure, and that the closures were not based on a sovereign internal decision by GLS Bank.”

[…]

Last March, Berliner Sparkasse froze the account of a Jewish anti-Zionist group named the ‘Jewish Voice for Just Peace in the Middle East.’

    party’s fundraising campaign for Cuba.

    I know that’s a no-no in Burgerland but I thought most other countries were sympathetic (although take little action to remedy) to the Cuba sanction situation?

    Keep in mind, this is way before the AfD officially takes power. Usually the libs don’t have the stomach to do a lot of Hitler stuff domestically (blowing up poor people for fun in foreign countries has never presented much of a problem to the liberals), that is why they give control to the Nazis. So while this is not an escalation in practice (the German Communist party is probably not all that powerful), it is an escalation within the liberal ideology.

      The contradictions are heightening, this limits how much they can contain reactions to the liberal “order”. As expected, liberals punch left first and harder while sympathizing with their own right flank. But as those contradictions heighten, they will decrease their own ability to punch at all, so it’ll be another race to organize vs. fascistic takeover.

      The fascists winning culture war after culture war and discussing their violent plans? Eh, let’s hear ‘em out. Free speech.

      A small fringe ideology that hasn’t been relevant in decades?! ENEMY OF THE STATE DETECTED!

        The entirety of Western culture, from the roots, is built to quash any ideology that espouses any form of equality immediately and violently so that likely has something to do with it
