“Property is robbery! Smash the state!”

It looks like the old communist slogan has been updated for Modern Multicultural Germany, with culture-enrichers filling in for the Vanguard of the Proletariat.

Left-wing politician justifies theft by migrants: “They get back what they are entitled to”

Asylum seekers clear out an Edeka store in Regensburg in an organized manner. A left-wing politician from Berlin celebrates this and approves of the theft: the criminals were only taking back “what they are entitled to.”

The operator of an Edeka market in Regensburg made an angry post on Facebook. In it he complains about systematic thefts by asylum seekers from North Africa and speaks of “organized crime”. Asylum seekers from the nearby reception center were always walking into his shop, fill their pockets and leave. Chocolate, vodka and high-priced gourmet goods are among the stolen goods. For example, an asylum seeker who was caught stole goods worth around €140.

The story from Regensburg circulated nationwide and even made it into the Bild. This also drew the attention of the left-wing politician Ferat Koçak. Koçak sits for the Left in the Berlin House of Representatives, where, among other things, he is the parliamentary group spokesman for refugee policy. He now celebrates the mass thefts.

After all, the Edeka supermarket chain resulted from the merger of grocery retailers; the name comes from an acronym for “Purchasing Cooperative of Colonial Grocers.” According to the left-wing politician Koçak, it is this circumstance that allows asylum seekers to commit gang theft. “I would say that people are taking back what is rightfully theirs,” he writes. In his post he further explains that asylum seekers are essentially being forced to steal because “the authorities are overloaded and many refugees are not even paid what they need to live.” A theory without evidence.

Edeka once traded in goods from all over the world, including from colonies — nothing about that entitles a man from the Maghreb to steal, over 100 years later. The left-wing politician did not respond to outraged user messages. But the letters and suggestions in the comments section are creative: one user asks whether East Germans would then also be allowed to clear out the property of his party, the renamed SED. “I hope all the people who lived in the East during the GDR era will help themselves from you and your party comrades. After all, they stole money from these people.”

Afterword from the translator:

What else can one expect from a Turk from Anatolia? That he condemns his co-religionists for doing exactly what Allah commands them to do against infidels? Economic jihad in this case. That would be considered blasphemy, even for a rabid Leftist.

And to top it all, it’s a bald-faced lie that Syria or Afghanistan or any North African or Islamic country had ever been a German colony in the past and that our ancestors stole chocolate, caviar and vodka there.

Otherwise: Even if I feel sorry for the EDEKA market in Regensburg, but EDEKA Germany?

After all, they helped bake this cake, and now they must lie in it, since they refuse to clear out this stygian stable. And it’s no good crying over spilled vodka while beating two birds around the bush.

Also, what I would like to know from that guy: Where are the tens of millions of euros from the SED’s assets that your party stole from the people of East Germany? Are you prepared to give them back, or should the people simply come past your home and help themselves? Or do you see those assets as spoils of “war”? Just asking for an old friend who suffered under your party’s regime.
