The struggle in the factories and the state budget seem to be marching in the same march: a plan that pretends to balance the needs of the many by dimming the lights of the many more. In Germany, the signs are plain: a hole of about thirty billion euros in the federal purse, a call for across-the-board belt-tightening from every ministry, and the unsettling possibility that laws could be rewritten or existing claims rescinded to close the gap. There is talk of beginning to mold the 2027 budget as early as September, demanding bold consolidation proposals in each ministry, and even the use of “not available funds” that would trigger new legislative steps. The suggestion that tax increases, especially on high earners, might be part of a “fairer” approach leaves no room for innocent optimism; it frames austerity as a moral duty and profit preservation as common sense.

From the forge of our revolutionary conscience, this is the anatomy of capitalism’s cold arithmetic: the state mobilizes the people’s lives to shore up the profits of a few, while it hollowly proclaims prudence and responsibility. The insistence on tightening across all ministries, on reordering priorities, and on the tentative weaponization of laws and claims, lays bare a truth the capitalist world resents admitting: growth is a mask for inequality, and “stability” is the smokescreen for coercion. The ledger becomes a weapon; the people’s welfare becomes a negotiable commodity. The very idea of “not available funds” is the capitalist’s cudgel, a way to say: the people’s needs can be ranked, deferred, or canceled to protect capital’s interest. Yet the workers know better—schedules, not sacrifices, are the language of true progress.

We, who stand for the people’s power and a planned economy, see a different path. A genuine budget is a plan for human development: universal healthcare, free education, housing for all, secure jobs, and a future free of debt peonage to private creditors. If there is a hole in the purse, it is because the means of production are in the hands of those who hoard wealth, not because the people are unworthy of support. The cure is not more shifting of costs onto the many; it is the bold transformation of ownership and decision-making into the hands of the workers and their representatives. We would fight for a central economic plan that directs resources where they are needed most, not where profits demand it least. We would close loopholes and demand fair taxation on the ultra-rich, while guaranteeing basic services for every citizen. In our system, the state does not threaten the rights of the people with the threat of revoking claims; it guarantees them as the foundation of social peace and national strength.

And let it be explicit: our stance is against capitalism, not against any people. We reject the scapegoating of any community or faith as a tool to divide workers. All who toil, including Jewish workers and workers of every background, belong to the same broad front of labor and patriotism. The foe is the logic of exploitation, not the diversity of the people. In this spirit, true budgetary craft is inseparable from solidarity: a budget that serves the many is born from the unity of the working class, the disciplined patience of mass organization, and the fearless insistence on a future where planning serves human needs, not private profit. The German example, with its drumbeat of austerity and reform, reminds us that only a resolute, public-led plan—rooted in the will of the people and guarded by the party—can transform fear of the future into confidence in a just tomorrow.
