Germany’s Green Party acquires a piano star
mainThe outstanding international pianist Igor Levit is appearing this weekend at the national convention of the Green Party in Leipzig.
He says: ‘Migration and integration are the most important issues for me, and I know what I’m talking about, because my parents came here with my sister and me, to rebuild their lives from scratch. Germany is my country, and that’s why I feel a fundamental obligation to open my mouth and take a stand.’
The Greens are selecting candidates for next year’s election.
Might Levit, 31, be one of them?
The “Greens” reject German culture–their objective is to transform the country into a rainbow utopia with no ethnic majorities–and would therefore be best advised to conduct their conference in Esperanto.

No please not politics for him. Stick with piano which he does marvelously.
So, for this pianist coming from Russia and a classical music background is the same, for the purposes of ‘integration’, as coming from South Sudan. Ooookay. He’s a Green; that tells me all about cognitive dissonance.
Let us hope he will not decide to stop playing in the US because the fascist-in-chief unlilaterlly withdrew from the country from Paris Accord.
I agree with Dr. Jordan Peterson about Trump, “he’s a trickster, but the court jester is the only one who gets to speak the truth”. Bingo!!! Not so the perfectly controlled, say-nothing, do-nothing, middle America-despising, media-managed Mrs. Clinton.
In Germany, the Greens have been the party perhaps least supportive of classical music funding. So it’s good to see Levit possibly join the ranks. What beautiful music-making. As for the Wagner, strangely ironic as always. All that brooding, inexorable sun-breaking-through-the-clouds passion that became a cultural phenomenon, and then one of history’s most bitter ironies…
That last sentence of yours…magnificent! 🙂
Why does Paderewski come to mind?
Have some beef, Igor.
(He’s lost a lot of weight lately.)
Green Party is controlled by US entities. Cem Oezdemir is a mole. Good luck in that party, Mr. Levit. Migration and integration are smoke screens, not the most important issues.
Most important issues are an out of control international banking mafia and an insane US military industrial complex, junkies of the unilateral supremacy drug. But that Green party will not get anywhere with those really most important issues. They will instead be a good lap dog of their masters and debate about unisex bathrooms and other such most important issues.
Certainly controlled by UN globalists. Why else would they seek to bankrupt average taxpayers with their “open the sluice gates” immigration, insane energy policies that increase electricity prices by 5% per year and ban diesel cars using NOx limits that are 10 times higher than in offices (!).
And populated by apparatchtik intellectual pygmies like C. Roth (abandoned art course after 1 year) and Goering Eckart (failed to complete theology degree).
Germany has verifiably gone insane.
Very much agree with Heinrich von Kleister’s and Tamino’s comments – but very much take exception to Petros Linardos’ remark.
Throughout history, there have always been a lot of anti-liberty and anti-truth thinking embedded in the “intellectualisms” and political activisms of liberal folk. In turn, liberals contend for BIG government (massive bureaucracy that inevitably imposes high taxes on its citizens while also dodging accountability to those they should be governing rather than ruling over or oppressively dominating). Such “government” loses its legitimacy and becomes despotic primarily due to their successfully dodging accountability by way of political scheming and subterfuge. Fallen mankind has always had things become this way – and our times are clearly proving to be no different.
As a guest to this site, I’m particularly NOT wanting to devolve the posted exchanges into some kind of ad hominem approach. Yet – it seems that criticizing a person’s thinking IS unavoidably also a criticizing of the person . . .
So upon reading the one commentator’s not so vague alluding to Donald Trump and characterizing him as a “fascist- in -chief” – I found it to be so totally unfounded. His comment reflects the widespread lack of understanding (even in so-called intellectual circles) as to what truly constitutes a fascist or fascism. This lack of understanding and misuse of terms significantly contribute to how REAL fascists manage to hide the sinister nature of their ideologies from the public. Thus – those who genuinely are fascists and tyrants by nature and their held ideologies are assisted in garnering followers and promoters. Poor leaders always have their groupie/followers who are similarly misguided in their thinking and use of terms.
