Motivation
We are driven by the possibility of building a modern Germany that inspires, empowers and
motivates people to join in. A Germany that stays worth living in, embedded in a future-proof and strong EU.
In practice, that means:
- Building a functioning infrastructure.
- Stabilizing harmony between social groups.
- Making climate and environmental protection possible.
- Enabling people to educate themselves, take part in democracy, and make their own decisions about themselves and society.
- Reducing friction in the bureaucratic system to the necessary minimum.
We believe it takes a forward-looking approach to face the problems of our time.
Form
In public discourse, people mostly complain, spread pessimistic views, and focus on the
barriers to action. Problems are rarely described in detail, and even more rarely is action
towards a better solution actually taken.
Parties are often unable to solve these problems. Between election campaigns and internal
politics, concepts fail before they reach the ministry. That is why we are neither a party nor
a mere think tank.
First, work out clear concepts and, as a second step, carry them into the political arena through tangible projects.
Framework
We reject radical objectivism à la Ayn Rand, as it increasingly gains the upper hand in the
USA. At the same time, we distance ourselves from collectivist and naively utopian designs that
give up individual freedom in favor of an ideological overall vision.
We support the European model with capable democratic welfare states that enable freedom,
participation and innovation. And that stand globally as a counterweight to authoritarian forces.
