"We have set terms: The Left, the minimum wage, Hartz IV has to go, we want a fixed annuity poverty and the armed forces and we must get out of Afghanistan. have the wind of history in our sails. The pillars of our success, dear friends, and friends. "Oskar Lafontaine , first thinks of equals with the Left Party and sounds so that at first incredibly clever. The second time it no longer. For the Left Party has no tag set. the "minimum wage" does not, which did before her. "Hartz IV has gone" too, because this is just the negation of an existing concept. "poverty-proof pension is set in the same league, get out as well as" the army must . from Afghanistan "What appears here only once a quibble, really is an important finding because Oskar confused here are two things you should not confuse simple.: Namely, "set" and "fill" of concepts. One, the "Set" is a creative act Man invents it often takes a word or at least a political one in the debate that has so far played only a role elsewhere. Because the more rare and usually the prelude to really heated, because debates on a new field, the examples are still very present. We know from Gerhard Schroeder's "peace power" or "environmental protection" of the Greens.
What makes the Left, is to be set tag. It sounds military, and it is almost. For one, because it is not without a struggle is going on, on the other hand, because the busy term will be attacked by political opponents to himself to fill again. The Left makes the moment only. It attacks the notions of others and tries to occupy. As "Hartz IV", which is probably actually the "unemployment benefit II". This was as a concept "set" for the reorganization of the labor market and reduce the changes for the "employable persons in need" in a noticeable term. The concept was not necessarily positive connotations, but today it transports much stronger ideas of poverty and undeserved suffering as he did at the beginning - the Left Party is due.
It is important to share this distinction and be set-always taken if the Left Party is a term used incorrectly, because of this incredibly important linguistic act exactly in the policy makes the difference between what the left says about himself and what it actually is well. Those who manage to set terms of the formulated hence the claim to want to make even the mere fact that he obviously can. Who only be tag-sets, the only formulated their own views about what others have thought of before.
. PS: Which leads me to believe that the show "The Left" is especially true.
