Is it not wonderful to be having show trials again?

Glorious times we live in, Komrades!
So many Sovietisms coming back, so many already here - uzhas a delight!
Don't we have - across the Big Pond, or here in Yurop - a nice zyensura again?
Don't we have - definitely risen since 2008 - cute cults of personality, both here and there?
Don't we have - thunderously galloping - agitprop? White Man, Ol' Penis, Hegemon - just slashed?
Don't we have - here and there - ossified structures? Spread of Mediocrity? Ruling Bureaukratsiya?
Don't we have - The Wave! - wild-eyed revoluzzos*? Screaming: Soc! RealSoc! nay, Kommunizm!

Oh, dearest Genosse, you are a poet indeed. I am overwhelmed. My whiskers tingle.

By Mom Merkel, don't make lil' me forget this glorious scene, in its stiff emotionality straight out of a Congress of CPSU in Batyushka Stalin's years:
12 minutes, squeezed by time-lapse wizardry into barely 2 minutes, and real-time 3D navigable (just use < and > to look around the Palace of the Soviets, I mean, the Zyentrala of CDU, ze Cherman GOP):
Watch cringeworthy glorious video and timer rushing madly
(plus curt indoctrination of yours truly):
Mystery item No. 1
BACKGROUND:
Few years ago, German MSM suddenly started "detecting" "waves" (think e.g. "Blue Wave") and "measuring" polit-chances, by the yardstick of "enthusiasm" as expressed in "length of kollektive applause" during apparatchik powwows.
"Suddenly": Dead sure, the "idea" was ping-ponged in the polit-marketing ↔ polit-apparat ↔ polit-media triangle, with the usual aim: hypnotize the "masses". MSM transmissions of "and hier zey klatshed for [nnn] minutes" (implying "ze tshances of party/frau/herr [aaa] are [bbb]") started all of a sudden, concertedly. Group think, group deed.
And even with a brain of a beet-starved muzhik, you could tell what will happen next: if [xxx] klatshed [sss] seconds, zen vee, [yyy], must klatshen [SSS]! (as media film!)". And here we are, some 10 years later, and apparatchik mediocrities stage full-blown "hail Batyushka" clap-clap-clap orgies. The only diff being: a shocked "yu vot, yu not klatsh?" is followed not by "yu go GULAG, raus, raus" but by "yu just votch, yu karrier go scheisse, schweinehund".
The mad video scene: Dec. 2016 (with Sep. 2017 big election coming), CDU (think GOP) determines* its Kanzler-Kandidat, and it's - surprise, surprise - Merkel...
* That's one of the weaknesses in Germany's polit-system: there is no popular vote in the primaries, it's already (broad-)inner-party-circle business.
And next: The party with most votes in the big election (in 2017 it would be CDU/CSU, obvious already in 2016), proposes its Kandidat (= Merkel) to become the Bundeskanzler. That must be accepted by Bundestag (= House), usually just a formality (while media "measure" clap-clap duration - what else?). .
Hide it back (Turn mouse upside down and click. If that doesn't work, try standing on your head)

Thank you komrade for reminding me to change the genderfluid in my glorious Lada. From transmission to transition.
