“Our core mission is to provide comic criticism, to politicize young people, to annoy the (fucking) AfD, and finally to confront the Greens, the Left, and the SPD with utopias – if need be their own.” - Martin Sonneborn
The utopian consciousness, the ability “quite simply to imagine the whole as something that could be totally different” (T. Willibald Adorno) has “disappeared” (Houdini) from public discourse – and, with it, the decisive driving force behind any societal progress. In the face of a world characterized by attitudes worth rejecting, whose self-destructive potential is constantly increasing, we are lacking an all-encompassing, fresh, integral, not yet disavowed DESIGN for a world that is really swell in the end.
Of course, THIS BOOK PROVIDES NONE EITHER. Instead, it offers 99 above-board analyses, disturbing insights about the present, and utopias for every (third) day. Many of them funny!
