German Federal Election 23rd February 2025

What Zoupa said.

And their economic policy is more Milei or Musk, i.e. unfettered capitalism without a social state. So not communist.

I didn't mean to imply AfD is for communist economics...just the authoritarian part. 

In the past, wasn't SPD formally popular in the former East?  How much are AfD voters really thinking about their economic platform, and more doing the one-issue thing on immigration/migrants (and significantly ignoring the economic part, much like our MAGA voters)?

Seems to me that economic inequality turns the losers into fascists which is then exploited by the unscrupulous and amoral.

[Josquius]

I've heard that the maps of Germany showing the nazi east are unfair, with most afd voters being in the west, and with the way the German system works that's what counts, not winning seats as in the UK.
True?
Reminds me of the brexit vote... The north got all the blame because of the maps when most fascists were down south


Also interesting. Expected but now showing for real.

You cannot see attachments on this board.

Nazi boys are a  real problem.
And less expected, sad to see girls not voting green as they were predicted to.

Stronger military is nice...stealing out thunder and taking up the "arsenal of democracy" would be good too.

Scribes allowed...

Would be a good redemption arc

What choice does he have though? There is no other feasible option.

Do what the conservatives did 100 years ago and accept the Nazis into government because "we can control them". It's what the conservatives here in Finland did two years ago.
