What I expected: German Social dems dive like stalling on tailspin due to Sarazzin

German NTV

ccoaler.blogspot.com: I painted this cartoon some days ago: Sarazzin made a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's clear that if I criticize certain groups of the society, they will turn away

(text of the cartoon: Sarazzin predicts: Ecos at 112%--- Bund=polls on countrywide level; BW= BadenWuerttemberg (elections 31-3-11))

Poll numbers:

German Social dems 25% (-2%)
Ecos 21% (+2%---all time high)
leftparty 10% (+1)
lib dems 5% (-1)
conservatives 31 (unchanged)

So... Mr.Sarazzin is renewdly thrashing certain groups within the society.
The unemployed, the immigrants, the Turks, the Jews, whatever comes into his way.

Well, when Sarazzin spoke two years ago about turning the radiators down, I didn't like to insinuate it to him. But now I like to: Sarazzin is only thrashing the Proletariat.

from wikipedia:

The proletariat (from Latin proletarius, a citizen of the lowest class) is a term used to identify a lower social class; a member of such a class is proletarian. Originally it was identified as those people who had no wealth other than their sons.

In Marxist theory, the proletariat is the class of a capitalist society that does not have ownership of the means of production and whose only means of subsistence is to sell their labour power[1] for a wage or salary. Proletarians are wage-workers, while some refer to those who receive salaries as the salariat. For Marx, however, wage labour may involve getting a salary rather than a wage per se. Marxism sees the proletariat and bourgeoisie (capitalist class) as occupying conflicting positions, since workers automatically wish their wages to be as high as possible, while owners and their proxies wish for wages (costs) to be as low as possible.

In Marxist theory, the borders between the proletariat and some layers of the petite bourgeoisie, who rely primarily but not exclusively on self-employment at an income no different from an ordinary wage or below it; and the lumpen proletariat, who are not in legal employment; are not necessarily well defined. Intermediate positions are possible, where some wage-labor for an employer combines with self-employment. While class belonging is often hard to determine in the case of each individual person, from the standpoint of society as a whole, taken in its movement (i.e. history), the class divisions are incontestable; the easiest proof of their existence is the class struggle - strikes, for instance. While an employee may be subjectively unsure of his class belonging, when his workmates come out on strike he is objectively forced to follow one class (his workmates, i.e. the proletariat) over the other (management, i.e. the bourgeoisie). Marx makes a clear distinction between proletariat as salaried workers, which he sees a progressive class, and Lumpenproletariat, "rag-proletariat", the poorest and outcasts of the society, such as beggars, tricksters, entertainers, buskers, criminals and prostitutes, which he considers a retrograde class.[2][3] Socialist parties have often struggled over the question of whether they should seek to organize and represent all the lower classes, or just the wage-earning proletariat.
