🎓 Christoph Burgmer im Gespräch mit Christoph Butterwegge (geb. 1951). Der Kölner Politologe Christoph Butterwegge erläutert den Zusammenhang zwischen Kürzungen der Sozialleisten sowie der Rente und der Verdreifachung der Militärausgaben. Das so genannte "Sondervermögen" für das deutsche Militär sind jedoch in Wahrheit neue Staatsschulden ohne rechtliche Grundlage. Die Kosten für diesen dritten deutschen Militarismuswahn nach wilhelminischem Kaiserreich und Nationalsozialismus werden zukünftige Generationen tragen müssen.
/🎓 Christoph Burgmer in conversation with Christoph Butterwegge (born 1951). Cologne-based political scientist Christoph Butterwegge explains the connection between cuts to social benefits and pensions and the tripling of military spending. However, the so-called ‘special fund’ for the German military is in reality new government debt without any legal basis. The costs of this third wave of German militarism, following the Wilhelmine Empire and National Socialism, will have to be paid by future generations.
/🎓 Christoph Burgmer en conversación con Christoph Butterwegge (nacido en 1951). El politólogo de Colonia Christoph Butterwegge explica la relación entre los recortes en las prestaciones sociales y las pensiones y la triplicación del gasto militar. Sin embargo, los llamados «fondos especiales» para el ejército alemán son, en realidad, nuevas deudas públicas sin base legal. Los costes de esta tercera locura militarista alemana, tras el Imperio guillermino y el nacionalsocialismo, tendrán que soportarlos las generaciones futuras.
