Or is this way more comman than we want to believe?

“Horst Mahler personified the way that antisemitism crosses ideological boundaries and can appeal to different, ostensibly opposing, extremist movements. Even though on the surface the far right and far left are enemies, they share a contempt for liberal democracy and a conspiratorial view of the world in which Jews, or Zionists, are seen as an obstacle to their political objectives. Given this shared anti-Jewish worldview, Mahler’s political migration from far left to far right is not as uncommon as people might think.”

Because that’s just what socialism does. Wherever and whenever it is tried. Früher oder später (sooner or later).

And this is supposed to be news?

Why Germany’s socialists are failing – Socialist political parties have been celebrating election victories in Portugal, Spain and Colombia, and are on the rise in France. In Germany, the far-left can only dream of such successes.

Berlin: ‘Rigaer Strasse’ Looks Like War Zone After Attacks Against Police – A day before fire safety experts are supposed to check an illegally occupied apartment block in Rigaer Strasse, left-wing radicals attacked police officers from roofs, by throwing stones and firecrackers at them. As many as 60 officers were injured.
