This democracy depends on two political parties at least, and those two political parties are...

The German youth is fed up with the politicians because they have to suffer three world wars, and all these politicians were promising them that they are people special, they are born to rule the world. And they got exploited by these promises. Adolf Hitler was not only a political leader, he was even trying to be a prophet. He was...
