October 3rd, Germany celebrates Reunification. But what has actually been reunited is the East's resentment with the West's arrogance. The German state is transforming itself into the arsenal of Europe. Defunct Volkswagen factories are now producing Leopard tanks— Military Keynesianism has become Germany's only growth strategy. The German state is turning increasingly authoritarian, dispatching thousands of police to disperse citizens, including German Jews, protesting against the Palestinian genocide. German arms are pouring into Israel —Germany is second only to the United States as Israel's largest arms supplier, with arms exports increasing tenfold since October 2023, from 32 million euros to 326 million euros. Meanwhile, the internal division within Germany is burgeoning. The rise of the AfD is not an accident, but a product of the economic stagnation and systemic decay caused by the mindless austerity Germany’s ruling class imposed on its workforce. The Unification promised thirty-five years ago ended up as a new East-West divide—one side dominated by the complacent West German political establishment, the other by East Germans who feel abandoned. A Germany that now invests predominantly in death, not in life. That was Reunification's child. Is it any wonder I cannot find it in myself to wish it ‘Many Happy Returns”?
