As a German I know that German corporations, like Bosch and Zeiss have always been at the forefront of making sure their workers were taken care of. Realizing that worker happiness and productivity aren't opposites but only come together.

As a German I know that the only attempt at an anti-communist uprising was met with swift brutality by the troops of the pro-capitalist social democratic government.

As a German I know how a country divided between anti-capitalism and capitalism looks like after many decades. I have seen the ruins of anti-communism with my own eyes, they are hard to hide and so are the crimes of the anti-communist government.

As a German I know that besides national socialism, anti-capitalism is also an illegal ideology in Germany.

Did you miss that we asked you to stop breaking the site guidelines? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43857426

You posted 19 comments since then, most of which are perpetuating this flamewar. No matter how wrong someone else is or you feel they are, this is abusive, and we ban accounts that do it.

Fortunately, it looks like your comment history is mostly fine (at least the parts of it that I skimmed back through) so this should be easy to fix.
