The common basis of Martin Luther’s 95 Theses and the We2030 movement lies at the heart of both initiatives:

Exposing grievances, exposing abuses of power and giving people back their dignity, responsibility and freedom.

What Martin Luther wanted with his 95 theses (briefly summarized):

Martin Luther did not want to destroy the church, but to lead it back to its true mission.
His 95 theses (1517) were directed against:

  • the abuse of religious power (especially through the sale of indulgences),
  • the instrumentalization of faith for the benefit of political and economic interests,
  • the obscuring of truth through authority,
  • the incapacitation of the individual, who was not allowed to think, believe and understand for himself.

The aim was a reform from within that placed people at the center:
With conscience, knowledge and responsibility before God – not as mere objects of ecclesiastical or secular power.

What Wir2030 wants to achieve (briefly summarized):

We2030 strives for peaceful change – away from a technocratically controlled society towards an order in which:

  • Freedom and self-determination are inviolable,
  • Power is limited and controlled,
  • Truth is created through discourse, not censorship,
  • people as subjects are once again allowed to think, decide and take responsibility for themselves.

This is also about a reformation – but this time of society, politics and science, at a time when economic interests, moral pressure and media manipulation are threatening the freedom of the individual.

Common basis of Luther 1517 and We2030 today:

Conclusion

We2030 is the spirit of Wittenberg – in a new age.
Just as Luther stood up against the morally disguised power of the church, We2030 opposes the morally legitimized encroachment of the state and the global elites.
Both demand: Man is free. And no one has the right to take this freedom away from him in the name of “justice”.
