The Far Right Breaks Through in Germany - Dissent Magazine
For the first time since the Second World War, the far right will form a government in Germany. But the rot in Saxony-Anhalt stems from decades of neglect.

Here’s Trump posting the results of the German election in which the neo-Nazi AfD did well. It’s important to understand that the U.S. Republican Party is part of a global fascist movement dedicated to persecuting minorities and stealing our freedom.

Solidarität auch mit den Kolleg:innen in den #Gedenkstätten in Sachsen-Anhalt. Das #AfD-Wahlprogramm ist ein Generalangriff auf die Erinnerungskultur. Gedenkstätten spricht es implizit die Existenzberechtigung ab: Nationalismus statt kritische Auseinandersetzung mit dem NS.

Thinking today of the many immigrants in Germany who, like my parents, experienced downward mobility, have no inherited wealth, no pensions to speak of, and live under the poverty line with no grievance politics (and *no voting rights*)—and sending them all my strength

My main two general takeaways as a GDR historian on this election (which will probably be painfully familiar to anyone who has followed me for a while) 1. Equating the AfD with a residual mass authoritarian personality is an oversimplification that obscures effects of post-89 social collapse...

„Nicht Hitler hat mich verhaftet, nicht Göring, nicht Goebbels. Der Greißler, der Hausmeister, der Schneider, der Schuster, der Bäckermeister, die haben auf einmal eine Uniform gekriegt, eine Hakenkreuzbinde, und da waren sie die Herrenrasse…!“ Das Zitat stammt vom Auschwitz-Überlebenden Karl Stojka

The demographic which voted the least for the AfD was socialized entirely in the GDR, the highest share at 53% (35-44) were children or infants when the wall came down and 42% of those born in the 21st century voted for them.

Around 1/4 of German voters are currently polling as supporting a party that wants to ethnically cleanse 1/4 of the German population and is willing to say so openly.

Ben Shapiro probably does not know enough history to even know this, but the way he is talking about Muslims as a nation within the nation who can never be integrated is almost verbatim what European nationalists said about Jews in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Tweet from Ben Shapiro: "It turns out that importing massive numbers of Muslims from third world countries is a bad idea. Not just because people get beaten in Dearborn for protesting or nearly stabbed in Ceuta for covering the news. But because radical Muslims create voting enclaves in Western countries, then build coalitions with radical Leftists who hate our civilization. Which is what’s about to happen in the Michigan Senate primary tonight.
