The mythical &#34;Zivilgesellschaft&#34;, the civil society. Whenever I hear it, and one hears it often in speeches of German politicians, I wonder what it means. Google think there are three sectors in society: the government, businesses, and the civil society. You can almost make out the intent that lies behind this construct. It dispenses with the free citizen, who is too much trouble, and it gets rid of the inconvenient separation of power between legislative, executive and judicial branches.</p> </div>
