  "account": "Ex-Verfassungsrichter Huber has warned that aspects of the left-wing movement in Berlin exhibit \"totalitarian traits.\" In an interview, he pointed to the proposals for class struggle and the use of Marxist-Leninist dialectics by certain factions of the left. Huber also highlighted examples of anarchist rhetoric and opposition to nation and citizenship rights commonly expressed by some left-wing groups in Berlin. He noted that these attitudes have been seen in demonstrations against German Unity Day and in support for dismantling the asylum and immigration laws. Huber also pointed to concerns about anti-Semitism and Russian sympathies among some left-wing Berliners. He emphasized that while public protests against court decisions are part of a free legal system, targeting judges and influencing their integrity is problematic. Huber warned that some of the ideologies and behaviors exhibited by parts of the Berlin left could lead to a resurgence of totalitarianism, comparing it to the SED-domination of East Berlin in the 1990s.",
  "summary": "Der frühere Verfassungsrichter und CDU-Politiker kritisiert die Vergesellschaftungspläne scharf. Doch auch der Vorstoß der Union, die Enteignung per Bundesgesetz zu stoppen, sei fragwürdig.",
