The mass of people, armed with rifles and leading a guillotine, will vote democratically for the first time in their lives. They will bring righteous flames to the bourgeoisie and chase the parasites from Berlin. The Rhineland floods will mean nothing compared to the river of blood that will flow down the streets that are no stranger to tragedy, but never one of the scale about to unfold. We the Financial Times demand justice, the justice of rat men eating their way through the sewers and toilets and bodies of their oppressors to claw the stolen jewels off their goddamn throats.

Idk I think they have a balanced take on the issue for a market-oriented newspaper.

    The expropriation initiative is based on Article 15 of the German constitution, which says “land, natural resources, and means of production” can be reclaimed for public ownership, in exchange for compensation; it has never before been tested in practice.

    Anyone know the history of how that article made it into the German constitution? I'm getting GDR vibes from it.
