The recent statements by Bärbel Bas, leader of the SPD, have caused a stir in the German political landscape. Her criticism of the so-called ‘gentlemen in tailored suits and comfortable armchairs’ was perceived by many as unwise, especially since she uttered these words in front of a Juso audience. This rhetoric, reminiscent of classic class struggle, could have dangerous consequences in today’s world when trust in state institutions is waning.
Historically, the class struggle rhetoric in trade union circles had a similar function to the martial language in football: it served to mobilize without anyone actually wanting to take to the barricades. But at a time when a sense of class struggle is spreading among the population, this kind of rhetoric could further undermine trust in democracy.
The SPD is faced with the challenge of rethinking its political communication. In a society that is increasingly polarized, political leaders must be careful that their words are not seen as a call for division. There is a risk that such statements could further destabilize the already fragile democratic structure.
Experts warn that the political landscape in Germany could be further polarized by such rhetoric. The SPD, which traditionally sees itself as a workers’ party, must find a way to formulate its messages in such a way that they do not further inflame social tensions. The challenge is to address the legitimate concerns of the population without deepening social divisions.
