Die Frauen (The Feminist Party)

Founded in 1995, Die Frauen boasts 385 members – 99 percent of them, you guessed it, women – with a stronghold in Bavaria. They promote “matriarchal principles”, right down to their refusal to have a party leader (leadership is patriarchal).

Immigration? We campaign for every individual’s right to live in the country they choose. Especially asylum seekers. Those who are better off need to adjust their living standards.

The euro? We are against national borders. Germany needs to encourage the eurozone. However, this cannot be achieved by widening the gap between rich and poor. A new direction has to be found.

The NSA scandal? The Stasi is nothing in comparison to this. Instead of keeping citizens under surveillance they should work on identifying and eliminating the cause for terrorism. Could al-Qaida possiby be the fifth column of US imperialism?

Berlin… needs to demand a political system that is not based on patriarchal structures.
