Zeichen der Zeit

Schon vor mehr als 5 Jahren, als das mit Horst Schlämmer war und dem dazugehören Film, deutete sich das unweigerlich schon an, dass ein Teil der wahlmündigen Bevölkerung die Schnauze voll von der großen Politik hat, weil sie nicht im Interesse der Bürger agiert, und bereit dazu wäre, jegliche Form von "Alternative" zu wählen, die nur anders wäre als die Etablierten. Damals war diese Sache noch ein Spaß, heute ist sie mit der AfD harte Realität. - Und damals wie heute wurde nichts dazugelernt.

By the way, right wing parties are getting rise in many countries.

Well, this back then wasn't designed as a right-wing party. It just was - the artificial figure Horst Schlämmer was popular at that time. Let's say, the movie was like the crown on top of that. Kerkeling at least has some kind of talent to invent entertaining figures, but figures which just carry some kind of seriousness with them. They can be not only "written around" pure entertainment, or at least only be about entertaining things. And you never completely know what's going to happen within their frame.
So - maybe he picked that topic of politics at that time with a certain intention to address it.
He did not create a party for Horst Schlämmer with a serious set of ideology or concrete patterns of what they would do different from all others.
The idea of wanting to elect it in the general populace purely came from "it's none of the establishment clowns which just do as they please". The far-right of today, as far as I can remember, couldn't be seen on the horizon at that time as it is there now.

Yep, just showing how desperate the monopolistic capital is getting. And of course they present themselves as different from establishment, demagogy in action. Remember Hitler rhetoric about who to blame the crisis on?

Sometimes I'm getting the feeling like the system learns from all that phenomenas and movements which briefly make their appearances that try to stop or sabotage it. (Actually it does, I remember I haven't written this for nothing: http://matrixmann.livejournal.com/208322.html)
Like, really from all that makes its appearance on the screen.
But I don't know if that assumption is just merely paranoid and lacks any substance.
