"Mother Who Jumped from the Train – Czechoslovakia, 1943. A Jewish mother on a transport train to Auschwitz broke a window and pushed her young daughter out into the snow as the train slowed on a bend. She kissed her once and whispered, “Run.” The girl landed in a ditch, bruised but alive, as the train roared away.

Villagers found her and kept her hidden until the war’s end. She never saw her mother again, but for the rest of her life, she told people: “My mother gave me my life twice—once at birth, and once on that train.”

Can you think of an answer to this qestion ?🤔

That’s exactly what makes it interesting though. EVs have fewer packaging constraints, so designers have more freedom to experiment with proportions and shapes.

My question isn’t whether EVs can look different. They absolutely can.

It’s why so many of them have converged on the same futuristic visual language. If the freedom is there, I’d love to see more EVs that use it to create genuinely beautiful shapes rather than simply making a car look more “electric.”

It's 1965 in this corner shop, but two things are ahead of their time.

Can you spot them both?

Yes Dan, the Nazis were socialists. Their actual name was the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, literally the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. “Nazi” is simply the shortened form.

And before anyone starts with the usual “but historians call them far right” response, Mussolini himself began as a committed socialist, preached Marxist socialism, edited Avanti!, the official newspaper of the Italian Socialist Party, and only later broke with the movement and developed fascism.

The point you're missing is that nefarious and dangerous political movements nearly always rise under lovely sounding promises about “the workers”, “the people”, fairness, equality and liberation from nasty capitalism, while the people running them somehow never seem very keen on living the lives they prescribe for everyone else.

Even Marx didnt put his own money where his mouth was. He spent much of his life in financial chaos, repeatedly relying on Engels to send him money, while Engels himself earned his living through the family business Marxist theory supposedly regarded as part of the capitalist system. Marx’s own correspondence is littered with requests for cash and complaints about debts.

So your GDR example rather proves the point. Calling East Germany “democratic” didn’t make it democratic, any more than calling yourself socialist, communist, progressive or “for working people” means the people at the top intend to live by any of it.

Look at Labour in 2026. How many MPs have ended up in investigations, expenses rows or questions over money while lecturing the rest of us about fairness, sacrifice and paying more tax?

Only this week Perran Moon was suspended by Labour over the £50,000 taxpayer backed Covid Bounce Back Loan. The working class kept working, and Moon "man of the people" saw an opportunity to fleece furlough.

But THAT is the point, Dan.

History is full of people promising equality for everyone else while sitting on their arse spending somebody else’s money. Starting wars they have no intention of sending their own sons to fight.

THATS LITERALLY THE POINT.

Socialists/communists/Marxists say one thing and do another.
