Abstract
Seen from the perspective of the year 2025 the implosion of the Soviet Union and the other European socialist countries allowed Europe to be conquered by neoliberal political and economic concepts which have started in the United States of America. Burning social issues (social inequality, social exclusion of minorities and immigrants) became worse and were not solved at all. It needed new social actors on the micro level to re-establish the welfare state based on direct participation of the people and a changed social structure of private enterprises. The introduction of negative income tax provided a decent basic income for everybody.
