QED 110: You Must Persist!

Yesterday on Twitter Savino Balzano asked: "What are we doing?". The famous Leninist question (“What is to be done?”) that many of you have asked me since the opening of this blog, fourteen years ago. My response was concise: “ We will vote against them until (they) are exhausted ”.

Today we learn that Merz did not have the confidence of the Bundestag. I have no idea how the German constitution works and therefore I don't know if it has other possibilities and what this disapproval by one of the two branches of the German parliament entails for the ambitions of the chancellor in pectore . On the other hand, for fourteen years now the ones who know everything here are you, so I will read you carefully: maybe someone may even be a troll, but they are certainly not an information operator, so it's worth reading it!

This is a QED for reasons that should be obvious: if you vote against it you get some results. Of course, German voters didn't make #aaaaarivolution or the sensational gesture. We are not witnessing the definitive victory (i.e. defeat). But it would be very stupid not to admit that some sand has been thrown into the machinery, that this is much more than we could have expected until recently, and that it is happening because the German people voted unitedly for the party opposed by the system. It hurts to admit it, but for once the Germans were smarter, or less fuuuuur, than us! Which party is in the sights of the system here is sufficiently obvious, and the reasons should also be obvious to those who follow our path, but clearly other "logic" prevailed in the voting choices of many. Many, too many, have succumbed to the sirens of abstention, the ones against which the left is lashing out today, after having instrumentally deployed them against the League at the time of the political elections, with a widespread work on all social media, which too many took the bait, despite having been shown that those who called for abstention were mostly not a "revolutionary", but simply a PD troll who intervened by executing an absolutely rational but also clearly legible strategy. Obviously, hats off to whoever was able to make this intelligent propaganda! However, we hope that today will make those who have fallen for it understand why it would be better not to fall for it…

I owed you so much, and here too we have an interesting evolution to follow with attention and respect.
