Ulf Poschardt's 'Shitbürgertum' Challenges Germany's Left-Green Elite
Ulf Poschardt, editor of 'Die Welt', has published 'Shitbürgertum', a €22 book that challenges Germany's cultural landscape. The 176-page work is a critique of the left-green elites' dominance and a call for change in the country's culture and politics.
Poschardt, known for his conservative-liberal views and opinionated style, argues that no political actor has successfully challenged the cultural dominance of the predominantly green and left bourgeoisie in Germany. Attempts by the CDU to cooperate with right-wing or right-populist parties like the AfD have not weakened these parties and sometimes strengthened them instead.
In 'Shitbürgertum', Poschardt demands that the 'non-Shitbürgertum' must break away from its comfort zone and remove the 'Shitbürgertum' from Germany's cultural scene. He criticizes Chancellor Friedrich Merz for not challenging the cultural dominance of the left-green elites. Poschardt praises figures like Elon Musk and Argentine President Javier Milei as potential leaders for this change, but questions their presence in Germany's political landscape.
Poschardt's main thesis is that left-green moral elites control Germany's culture and the state is bloated, requiring a 'chain saw' approach to reduce its size. However, his book is more of a status report than a practical guide for implementing changes.
Poschardt's 'Shitbürgertum' is a provocative critique of Germany's political and cultural landscape. While it offers a stark assessment of the current situation, it leaves the practical steps for change open to interpretation. The book's €22 price tag and 176 pages provide ample material for readers to engage with Poschardt's perspective on German culture and politics.
