The problem is that Germany (and the German electorate) are neither willing nor able to continue propping up failed wealth-redistribution schema in other nations. Far from the collapse of Capitalism, what we are seeing with Germany/EU is that one of the few truly functional economies in Europe (and its' constituents) is finally reaching the limits of its' ability and willingness to bankroll other people's Socialism and the book-cooking it requires. This is also why non-Euro nations such as the Czech Republic are so leery of further involvement in the Eurozone. The German electorate has made it clear that they are not interested in propping up Leftist redistributionism in nations which cannot control their spending or their whiny public "service" unions. So far they've been asked/forced to bail out the entire nation of Greece (where grifting whingers immediately began burning things down when told they had to tighten their belts like adults), and large portions of the other PIIGS groups' banks and governments. They will not tolerate much more of the sight of their money being shoveled down bottomless pits of that kind, particularly when they are then treated to the sight of riots in the streets of those nations when the citizens thereof are informed that they must now learn to live within their means. Much more of that crap, and the German electorate may simply vote to leave the Euro in the dust, reconvert to the Deutchmark, and tell the PIIGS to sink or swim on their own.
