No Joke: The Stasi Infiltrated European Governments.

With the benefit of hindsight, was it a good idea to reunify Germany and to allow ex-Communists into positions of power in the unified Germany and from there wider Europe?

Because, since the reunification of the 90s, it seems that Communist ideology has infiltrated into the European political Elites. They may call themselves Socialists, or even Marxists, but they really are Communists. They uphold ideology well past the point of Socialism, they abhor Capitalism. That is the true capitalism of the middle class shop keepers of Europe. They are however in lock-step with the corporate totalitarian corporatism that destroys competition and uses any means to obliterate it.

As an example, name me one one right-wing member of the European parliament that is actually right wing. You can't. Those they label as far-right, we would have called conservative 20 years ago. Those they label as right-wing, are what we would have called middle of the road liberals back them. The whole spectrum of European politics has shifted massively to the left.

And it's all been since German reunification. The Communists have infiltrated and once in power, they have promoted those that are useful to the progress of their ideology. That's what they mean by being progressive. 

Not the progressive ideology of the typical liberal, what THEY mean by progressive is progressing the Communist ideology. 

That's how the words and the political lexicon have been changed by the Communists. Progressive means useful to the progress of their ideology. 

Over the past few decades, political policy in Europe has gone further and further to the left, past what people would call Socialism, past what most would identify as Marxism, towards Communist ideology. 

In Europe we see politicians outright lying to their constituents. Typical Communist activity, because they are so ideologically captured.

And that's what we see in the UK labour party. No longer Socialist, they are now more Communist in their ideology of totalitarian control. No freedoms for you. You will be controlled. Your thinking will be checked. You online posts will be monitored for dissent.

And it all started when the Berlin wall came down.

You could almost think it was planned. I mean, if you can't beat them, you may as well join them (and once joined, shift their politics massively to the left).
