Just started to translate some german comedy into english via the youtube subtitles system. Any corrections or tips are welcomed. So far I got the first 8 min of 13 of the following video (sry for the bad quality)

If you don`t like the topic... well I don`t care.

So... the problem (once again) is capitalism. Capitalism, profit, success, land of riches. Yes, we must destroy progress for the sake of progress.

Let me get this straight. Every EU country has compulsory public education, socialized medicine, subsidized agriculture, and tons of laws (but still no constitution) restricting social and political freedoms, not to mention crushing debt obligations to the IMF and the World Bank. Sounds like just another abhorrent communist utopia with a tax and spend policy. But yet... the problem is capitalism? Boy, I'd hate to see these goof's actual vision of socialism.

Yes, that was very funny indeed.
Looks good!

But the beginning is way too text-heavy. I would move some of the information into the info field below the video:

CDU/CSU = christian conservatives
SPD = socialdemocrats
FDP = liberals
AFD= extreme rightwing
ADAC = scandal covered by mainstream media for weeks

I should warn you: Jokes do not always translate. This is especially true for puns and other jokes that rely on wordplay. As a result, you may not always be able to find an accurate comedy preserving translation.
When you have a text disappearing close to a cut in the movie, let the text disappear precisely at the cut. This gives a better flow.

If you can make manual line breaks in the subs, try making your own line breaks in double line text. As it is now, I get uneven automated linebreaks like this:
