Creating a New 'State' Within Germany

Former chef and martial arts trainer Peter Fitzek has founded his own micronation called the Kingdom of Germany. It consists of several properties around the city of Wittenberg, south of Berlin. It has 25 citizens, its own currency, an official state limousine, and passports. VICE Germany visited Peter back in June to find out how serious he is about this whole starting-a-new-nation thing.

+primechecker Die Idee eines neuen Staates finde ich natürlich genial. Wie in den unteren Kommentaren erwähnt wurde hat Fitzek scheinbar rechte Neigungen. Ein Gemeinschaftssystem klingt mir wirklich gut, aber ich denke größer als das kann es auch nicht werden. Das ganze System richtet sich im Grunde nach Fitzek, und sobald er 1) Zu viel Macht bekommt oder 2) stirbt sollte das ganze recht schnell den Bach runter gehen. Zudem scheint der Verein hoch religiös zu sein (was man andererseits über Deutschland auch sagen könnte).

[@JackRigbyhimagain]

Mark, after studying the subject for more than half a century, I can say that the only human system that ever worked was inherited from our animal beginnings. Humans DO require/need a strong and clever leader. The ideal structure is a dictatorship. The difficulty is finding a benevolent Dictator! As a famous saying goes: "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" A last thought: The more people involved in management, the more evil or incompetent participants there will be. All disastrous decisions come from committees of the lesser intelligent.

[@markmiller5476]

Jack Rigby​​ hirachy does come naturally to humans. But imposing a hirachy artificially or having a hirachy that extends beyond the community or takes away sovereign power from individuals is bad. If you have a small community founded on direct democratic principles then a hirachy may naturaly evolve but it can be dynamic challengeable and democratic and the lower and higher members of the hirachy will know each other and depend on each other. In a wolf pack which is highly hirachy bound the alpha and beta males often make sure the omega is treated fairly and the omega in turn contributes a lot to the group. If you have a network of these communities then you have a far more operational and 'natural' form of society than any massive far reaching dictatorship. Societies have existed in this way for thousands of years all over the world but are on the brink of extinction due to the evolution and spread of imperialism. 

[@matthiasklingner5014]

Jack Rigby Maybe here´s a point where humans could really evolve. If we could get over our animal-based society. I may sound romantic, but we spent thousands of years concentrating on technology, instead of improving ourselves or the systems of power we live in. may it not be possible that the current and ongoing forms of leadership are just a heritage from our primate grandgrandgrandgrandfathers? sorry for the bad english, btw.

A normal human being is not able to hide such basic emotions. He also speaks openly about controlling people with in his past and that he is attracting and controlling people now with nice offers instead of fear. I think a brain scan would prove highly evolved atrophy as well as largely dilated ventricles due to his psychiatric disorder. He is a highly dangerous individual because he is about to ruin thousands of lifes by manipulating them and letting them follow his believs. The type of institution he is about to found is similar to a sect and I think that we should arrest him into a psychiatric hospital in order to protect others from his toxic and manipulative traits.

[@zaquevynne4281]

I would recommend work exchanges for this community-state living idea also. Example: contribute to growing food in the garden and tending to livestock in exchange for housing and food. I think the community-state is cool idea. It has the potential for corruption, but if run with ethical conviction it could really be a great thing. Understanding that we are beings of planet earth, that the Sun’s distance creates the seasons, and the we rely on Earth for our survival, I think it’ll work out fine. Auch für diese gemeinschaftlich-staatliche Wohnidee würde ich Arbeitsbörsen empfehlen. Beispiel: Beitrag zum Anbau von Nahrungsmitteln im Garten und zur Viehzucht im Austausch für Unterkunft und Nahrung. Ich finde den Gemeinschaftsstaat eine coole Idee. Es hat Korruptionspotenzial, aber wenn es mit ethischer Überzeugung betrieben wird, könnte es wirklich eine großartige Sache sein. Wenn ich verstehe, dass wir Wesen des Planeten Erde sind, dass die Entfernung der Sonne die Jahreszeiten erzeugt und dass wir uns für unser Überleben auf die Erde verlassen, denke ich, dass es gut funktionieren wird.

Hmmm, you must be young. You do not understand obviously. We can of course control our state of health. We can of course control our thoughts and actions. We can control how we conduct ourselves toward one another. Many are setting themselves up for failure, sickness or disability. It's what we have learnt over the centuries in a corrupt environment. We corrupt ourselves to be pittied, to be looked after, to make others feel guilty, to cover many things we do not want to deal with. It all goes hand in hand. Disabilities are often also a sign of not taking care of oneself properly. Not being watchful... It's the Buddhist way. Disability is often also a punishment. But these things can be learnt.

As was previously mentioned in the video, an element of sovereignty is involved in his decision; if the people didn't want it or think it was best for them, they wouldn't join it in the first place. No one was forced to join the group, they're all there collaboratively working towards the development of the newfound state.

Arguably, and that's so hard to achieve...

that is cute that they call their hospital Gesundhaus ¨(health house) instead of Krankenhaus (sick house) which is the normal word in german.

Pretty funny/great to see Germany getting some attention on Germany 'fringes' now that Germany is really becoming a powerhouse on the international political scene (such as the UN Security Council's new designation 'G5 + 1', aka plus Germany). Great job vice!

Lol, I know my comment is super late, but just to give you an update on him from someone who lives right next to his "kingdom": He's been in and out of jail, tried to attack and beat up several judges who sentenced him to time in prison and is overall a douchebag that is also against any kind of vaccination.

[@taylerdurden14]

hahaha do you realy think you go to prison becouse of driving with no licence :D

taylerdurden14 Maybe you live in the Kingdom of Germany OR the Neverland Ranch... In the real world people can go to jail for driving w/o a license.

ok im sorry. didnt know we live in two different worlds.

I'd like to see them try to actually exercise those freedoms. Such as firearm ownership. I imagine they'd discover very quickly that they are still very-much-subjects of the modern state

[@ritakonig1891]

Do I smell glee? Why do you believe that firearms mean freedom? Have you not listened to him? He is not interested in firearms. Subject to what 'modern state'? The one you live in and feel miserable? For if you were free and happy in this so called state you would not make such statements. Besides, BRD not a state. BRD is a Corporation and a department of the US of America. BRD is under siege by the US until 2099. So seems like you make some pretty silly statements without the foundation of any knowledge at all. Do some research and then come back. And also, read the bible. The faith St.Peter felt in the prison set him free. The guards could not hold him. Wisdom comes with age, so you must be young.

[@jazeenharal6013]

@@ritakonig1891 no, I live in America. Where we have 400 million guns...and if one doesn't learn to use one, one is at a distinct disadvantage. The second amendment was instantiated in our literal constitution for the reason of keeping government corruption in check. (At least that was one of the primary reasons) If you think that we're in some new, magical modern age where governments aren't capable of large-scale abuse of the citizenry, the I'd respectfully suggest you've grown VERY complacent. I certainly am not German. My experience has been that the ones that most of vociferously tell me I don't need a gun are the ones I need to watch the most carefully, because I think that at best they're woefully complacent. At worst, they're staunch statists who are true believers in the goodness and infallibility of the government. I don't believe police and government should be the only armed forces and I believe history bears this out time and time again. If guns are not part of your daily life then they seem scary, alien and strange. If you were raised knowing how to safely use them, they're a brilliant tool of defense, sport and hunting. It's the freedom of having someone bust into your house at 3 in the morning and actually being able to defend your family from being abused. When you live 25 minutes from any police intervention, like I do, that is a freedom. Freedom to not be abused by whomever wishes to come along and take from me. The guy breaking into my house will have one, that much I guarantee.

[@Caesar.2006]

​@@ritakonig1891 Alter was schwurbelst du für Theorien 😂, soll ich das ernst nehmen?

[@Caesar.2006]

​@@jazeenharal6013I am not American and I am sure that as you said, growing up in the vicinity of firearms or in a culture that allows them results in less fear, however I can see the huge toll firearms take on your population. To me, it is apparent that regulation would reduce that and it's frustrating to see this being brought against fictional scenarios like a break-in at 3 AM or a corrupt government. In the history of the USA, has there been an armed revolt against the US-government (aside from January 6 which would prove my point)? -No. Additionally, you can also argue that break-ins and robberies are more-so armed due to the second amendment, as well as police and military. Fyi, London cops don't have guns, meanwhile some departments in the USA look like a small army. To your worry about maintaining democracy and rule by the people, many actually smart people (neither me nor you) dealt with that: Separation of powers (not like your SCOTUS nominations by executive power) Accessibility to votes Voting system that values all voted equally And maybe more than two parties So you can have your freedom, security and democracy through reforms which would generally strengthen that as well without a death toll of thousands per year - Like most other democratic powers.

[@jazeenharal6013]

@@Caesar.2006 the problem is that there really is no way around it at this point. There would be mass noncompliance. It may be the issue that would literally break the union down state lines. I cannot overstate how important it is to many people here. The criminals already carry illegally. The only people disarmed would be those who care about the law. As for Europe. When you include overall murder deaths, not just gun deaths, many Western European countries have more murder per capita than the USA, just with knives and blunt objects. In America you see similar, and lower, overall murder rates, but it's with a gun. And anyone who knows about knives and guns knows that an unskilled person is far more dangerous with a knife than an unskilled person with a gun. Is it better to die with a knife? I don't see how Europe solved any of its issues...your media just stopped reporting on the level of knife crime that occurs. Is it not death all the same? People will take their aggression out, you're just going to get more people using different instruments that are less scary. I see it as a last bastion against many of the things we'd never wish to see in the United States, but that have become very commonplace in Europe. After the 2nd amendment can just be thrown out, what's next? The first. We see how you're being arrested for nonviolent political speech over there: people literally being imprisoned for tweets that are being interpreted as "threatening social harmony". Those are things that we really, really do not want, and I truly believe a disarmed population is the first step to a bound and gagged population. If I could snap my finger and fix it all, sure, I'd snap my fingers and remove malice, death and all manner of evil from the world. But as it stands now, there is absolutely no easy way to disarm a country like America without draconian, authoritarian methods and great bloodshed; bloodshed that would probably end up with a stalemate and nothing gained. You've got a States system and at least 1/3 of the states will literally drop out of the union before they'd be disarmed. It's something to consider. 1) How bad is the problem, really and how much of it is a magnifying glass being put on the problem? 2) Will the solution only serve to disarm the law-abiding and leave everyone else sitting ducks? (And armed criminals will know this, too. You see some of the lowest crime rates in areas with the highest legal gun ownership) 3) Why is it worse to die by bleeding out from a gunshot versus bleeding out from a knife? Is that somehow more sophisticated? Because I'm looking at statistics showing that the death rates in many European countries are higher per capita than the USA, but it's all with knives. Is there really a solution to this issue in a country with 500 million known guns...and those are the known ones. Probably closer to a billion guns floating around. How do you solve an issue so entrenched when at least 1/4 of the population will NEVER give them up?

[@ritakonig1891]

Bad words on here show me how much fear is in the world, and yet most of these have probably taken the jab without so much as looking at proper protocol and/or done some research. Funny that. And fear has never been a good advisor, but in the case of the C19 jab there is so much faith for something that goes directly into the body without so much of a little knowledge via a little research. And as for with this man, nobody has to follow! He forces nobody! Everyone is there of their own will. I see a very askew picture, can you?
