Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1391]
I'd argue there is difference between calling Biermann or Höcke a fascist.
Of course calling something/somebody as one likes won't help, Tac.....the GDR was also not democratic, and the opposition no western paid-Nazis....no matter the calling from above.
And I don't understand why some people fall for this narrative of the AfD, when the parallels to 1933 are also much more obvious.
That's the thing....for me its the other way around....and I guess thats so for many still-living Ossis....after all the Nazis are all dead now, but many former SED'ler and their victims are still between the living.
That explains to me also the sympathy many Ossis have for the AfD nowadays....for them it's more like the former opposition and the actual Berliner gov (no matter the coalition colours) is again the enemy!
All the name calling and Verbot-threats from the mainstream are for them just not new, rather creepily familiar!
...a popular democratic revolution against a corrupt and failing dictatorship that kept its' people imprisoned...
NOW you call it that! But back then it was of course the other way around with the opposition the big bad devil which wants to destroy everything the good people worked so hard for...
(even today many german Lefties look back with sympathy and sadness...grieving the loss of the GDR....Reichinnek even wants to repeat it!)
whereas the GDR persecuted people even in direct violation of its' own laws, it is certainly too early to say that.
Tacitus...in the GDR it was lawful to murder people who only wanted to leave...to shoot them in the back....that was totally lawful and supported by the gov and the media...it was for a good cause after all!
The GDR collapsed not because it persecuted the opposition, but because it was a failing system
....of course....in the past good years of Germany there was no AfD and the extremists were in the one-digit-percentage after elections.
A failing state and a rising opposition belong together. Thing is what to change and fight? The failing state or the opposition?
By political standards, that is no time at all.
....hence their fast and enormous rising is a clear sign! It seems people have only waited for her.....
this will remain impossible.
....I guess it will start in Sachsen-Anhalt with a coalition with the BSW.....
