Class struggle kitsch

Politics If the lawyer-to-be had put his feet up, he would probably break the back of the dull-witted craftsman, who is "only" on the back of the prototypically underprivileged. Or rather lay. Because in Germany, where this advertisement originated (and where the social market economy was invented in the 1950s and has been regularly celebrated ever since), six federal states are already introducing tuition fees for the winter semester, which is entirely in line with the New Social Market Economy initiative, which is widely supported in business, science and politics,
which is responsible for this nationwide sledgehammer campaign. But the new tax should be "socially fair", i.e. graduated according to income. Such a complex issue would, of course, require appropriately differentiated communication. At best, this visual language is suitable for illustrating a new edition of the communist manifesto, but not as an appeal for solidarity in education policy. Not even in Marx's historical homeland.
