The AFD represents a return to the far right unseen in German politics since the 29s and the 30s. A Green member if the Bundestag commented " there are Nazis back in Parliament*. The fabric of the German state us under pressure. Merkel's party has just over 212 seats, the SPD 135, the AFD nearly 90, the FDP about 75,, the Greens 62 and the Left party about 60.. .
In 1989 when the Wall cane dawn, mobs at fire to the hostels of the guest workers in the old East Germany. They pelted and jostled the fire brigade seeking to rescue the guest workers and put out the fire. The old leit motif of fascism runs deep within many European countries. And I can tell you that there will be glee through the far right in this country and smiling faces amongst the remnants of UKIP. In France Marine Lepen will be emboldened as Macron*s popularity fades. Across Eastern Europe migrants, minorities and the other will be afraid and hate crimes will rise . The shadow of tbe Swastika will reappear and the Alt Right with their Anders Brevijk pony tails and ' libertarian ' ethos look snug and confident. Over the last thirty years I have seen the subculture of the skinhead outside the German Cathedrals haunting the German cities...the problem is that the skinheads are now in the German Parliament. The impulse to Fascism is a powerful force both collectively and individually . It is easy to quite the words of Adolf Hitler, whilst hiding authorship and changing Jews to Muslims or other grouping to find widespread agreement. The problem is that so many people are unaware of history and the methods of fascism I have experienced from right wing opponents on social media..
We know that across the old East Germany that the AFD polled over 20%.
In Berlin the AFD reached 27%, It is not impossible that the fat right
candidate Anne Marie Walters for the UKIP leadership will triumph...Even
Farage says a new party will be set up if she triumphs. The central
issue for all progressives and left wingers throughout Europe will be
the confrontation throughout the continent with fascism and the far
right. In Wales the far right us sniffing around the Welsh independence
movement, a former UKIP staffer shows an image of Blair with a noose
around his neck on his timeline and while this is probably just
political stupidity it indicates the darkness out there. The use of
phrases like "snowflake" and remoaner, libtard and other reveal the
viscous current running on the far right and on social media. It's going
to be a challenging few months. They are back and they have Adolf
Hitler eyes....be warned.....the far right is as ambitious as Lucifer
and are as cold as a lizard...Winter is coming and the wall needs the
Far Right watch...
