The Great Language Restructuring

The German language has become a political battleground to an unprecedented extent. It's no longer just about individual words; it's about the entire structure of German, which activists want to reshape in order to change society to their liking. The attackers, as usual, appear in the name of progress – especially a left whose discomfort with the German language, with all things German, borders on hatred. Journalist and linguist Matthias Heine names the actors and describes the methods and motives of those who seek to change language and the world. And he reveals the connections to a "German" left that seeks to reinvent itself as an "International of the Discriminated."

"And when I heard the German tongue,
A strange sensation filled my breast;
I thought no other, than that my heart
Would bleed away, most pleasantly."
Heinrich Heine (1797–1856)
