Flugelkampf: left-hand green drums for the Öko-Revolution

More welfare state, higher taxes, more expensive gasoline: in the green calls the left-wing section after a radical restructuring of the economy and society. A challenge to the Partei-Realos .

Hold on the small things Catherine Sven-Christian Kindler drug and not on. You it is a "radical change of the economic system", a "other company in Germany", "yes" to a "different world". Must fight for their party, find the two Grunen-Bundestagsabgeordneten .

And because they do too little something drab and Kindler's eyes, the two drafted a wake-up call for their own ranks. Your position paper, the Spiegel online, is a challenge to the Realo-Flugel , to leading minds like Grunen-Chef Cem Ozdemir or the baden-wurttemberg Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann.

As this revolution is to be fulfilled, have drug and Kindler on twelve pages were written as "contribution to innergrunen debate". The central message: A green economic policy only works with a strong welfare state and massive redistribution. The Greens had to rebut the accusation that the ecological restructuring of the economy only rich people could afford - because everything, where "bio", "ECO" or "fair" label, now time is more expensive.

"Great riches calls for a lavish fresh applied K will improve, also not a sustainable Statuskonsum of the middle classes from it', the Green Party politician. "Increased long air travel, size, fast cars and exotic food at any time of the year are just a few examples of an anti-ecological patterns of the elites, in Germany, but also in emerging markets increasingly will be copied." That is why it is important for the EU to the Verteilungskrise and the climate crisis to answer together.

The authors are convinced: We didn't need the green more about such ideas, in order to you "politically even more forward". However, rooms drug and Kindler also that not all conflicts can be resolved. For example meat: the eco-design standards had to be significantly more expensive. Or flying and driving: today it was also much too cheap. However, the authors, should not be a luxury good food even mobility.
