The far-Right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has won its first state election in Germany since the Nazi era in a landmark result.
The AfD emerged as the clear victor in Thuringia, in the east of the country, securing between 32-33 percent of the vote, according to projections by ARD and ZDF public television. This places the party well ahead of the center-Right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which garnered around 24 percent.

How many times do we have to go over this? Populists and far-whatever are never a proper answer to anything, ever. If they’re offering quick solutions to complicated problems they’re fucking lying.
AfD is Eurosceptic and anti-immigration, and critical of Muslim compatibility with European values. Why are they being compared to the Nazis, who were fanatical supremacists, warmongering imperialists, and genocidal criminals?
AfD at worst is a party of xenophobic conservatives, they’re hardly in the same league as the Nazis. Comparing them as though they’re the same thing both exaggerates the AfD and trivialises the Nazis. It just sounds like needless fearmongering.
Nice to see Germany finally waking up!
Hooray for the Assholes fur Deutschland!
I don’t see something wrong about a country that is reacting to the problems of non integrating mass immigration.
But what does feel icky is that AfD seems so cozy with Putins Russia…
Also, they won in East Germany, which was part of the Eastern Bloc. So its not really 85 years, its 35.
The sins of the [**Treuhand**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treuhandanstalt), the [**exit from coal**](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ausstieg_aus_der_Kohleverstromung_in_Deutschland) because of the Energiewende (most coal is in the east), the brain drain of smart people hurting the society. There are many more reasons why people in the east are pissed.
Now addressing these real issues is a matter of complex discussions, compromises to find and also some patience. So extremist parties tend to define easy scapegoats such as migrants, jobless people, sexual minorities directly unknown to most – in order to maximize the angry fire.
Literally Er ist wieder da
Now other middle and left parties have to change something otherwise history will repeat itself.
Our societies are themselves at fault for such parties rising. Everyone with valid concerns regarding immigration and other “hot” issues has been labeled a fascist and racist for decades, even if they had nothing to do with these ideologies. It’s no wonder that eventually these people have been pushed towards parties which simply do not care about such labels nor any societal norms. We denied them public platform, so they created their own.
85 years… enough time so history can repeat?
Well, at least in eastern germany people think that way.
I love seeing redditors trying to explain this from their echo chambers.
Fascism appeals to our tribal nature (our ‘inner caveman’ if you like).
It doesn’t require any moral qualifications to become a member. Its followers like being told they deserve more simply because they were born as members of a superiour race/tribe/culture. The only thing its members mustn’t do is to question the leaders of the tribe.
History likes to repeat itself :/
Shows the people do not want immigrants and will cause the start of a new dark ages if allowed to continue. AfD are pro-Russia and supports Russia in its genocide of the Ukrainian people.
*94 years after NSDAP won their first election in Thüringen
91 years after they established the first concentration camp in Thüringen (or first camp ever throughout all of NSDAP shenanigans): Nohra
imagine what kind of person you have to be to vote this trash! shame on you germany
Social Media makes it way to easy for Fasicst to spread their bullshit… Höcke is one of the most extreme right wing politicans in germany and he got the most votes of all AfD politicans… It is such a shame how easy it is to manipulate people… You can see it even on reddit, manypeople do not check the source, not even if there is a link.
Basicly all the other parties need to band together to form a government.
This government will be indecisive and ineffective, which will boost the populist party once again.
To be clear, although I am not supporting AFD at all, they are not following the program of former NSDAP. AFD is nationalistic on migration and society and liberal on economy. NSDAP was national on society and socialistic on economy. The real party getting close to this program is BSW surprisingly, they got about 12% and will become the real threat for Germany in the future.
Coincidence????
Well, actually yes.
More or less the same thing happened in Denmark. The Danish Peoples Party (my translation) was branded fascistic, xenophobic, neo-nazis and so on. The powers that be, didn’t want to cooperate with them and scorned them at every chance they got. At the time, they did not understand that the party got the seats it got, because they were a reflection of the voters will.
Today, the powers that be, have adopted a lot of the policies (at least in spirit) that the DPP stood for back in the day. This means that DPP has gone from being the largest party in the Danish Folketing with 37 seats (at it’s height in 2014/15) to now 5. The wind has been completely taken out of their sails.
That’s what you do. You listen.
Are you listening, German politicians?
Imagine believing a political party that supports the system which creates corporations and low wage labour can end immigration, when that system benefits from it by exploiting them the most.
Delusional.
Not surprising, with the state of immigration in Europe… With all actual criminals/terrorists and their sympathising counterparts that have been let in. Their continuous, small or large, terror attacks throughout Europe was obviously going to lead to this.
What the fvck did you think would happen…
Not a great position really… but ppl while undoubtedly have to make a choice between 2 extreme hard right groups…
Is it that difficult for the left wing to address ME immigration??? To prevent this right wing rise…
I’m sure they’ll fix all your problems. Oh wait no, they won’t, can’t and have no idea how to do anything that doesn’t serve their personal gains.
My grandfather (DDR / Ossi) wondering how people can be so braindamaged to vote pro russia after all they did to the region.
Not sure what this has to do with the start of WO2 unless they regular media wants to frame a certain party and 33% of the population.
Maybe it is an idea if they put their effort rather in funding out why so much people around Europa are making a move to the right although probably doesn’t benefit their sponsors….
Germany can’t even for once by accident be on the right side of History.
