"Alles muss anders sein"

Everyone I know sees things in the world about them that they would like to see changed.  So the idea that conservatives are opposed to change is ludicrous.  The changes they oppose are the hate-driven changes that the Left want, not change in general.

And the changes that the Left want are extreme. The depths of Leftist discontent are to my mind best encapsulated in a saying from prewar Germany: Alles muss anders sein.  Hitler used that slogan and so did most of the German Left of the 1920s and 30s

So what does it mean?  It is a very simple statement but it needs some thought to get the full impact of it in English.  My translation:  "Everything must be changed".  Everything.  You can't get more discontented than that.  A Leftist really does have the fires of Hell burning inside him.  No wonder Leftist behaviour is so reckless and beyond reason.

Obama's wish to "fundamentally transform" America is saying the same thing using more formal words.
