Thank you for pointing out corrections and clarifications. (I fixed the party’s name.)
I called it a “spiritual successor” because it’s basically the same right “appeal” to the masses, but I’m aware it isn’t a direct successor to the National Socialist Party. If I understood its history correctly, the process AfD went through is similar to the one of the Lega Nord, in Italy: the party starts gathering people for one cause (for AfD it was euroscepticism, for LN it was independence), but internal composition changes and so does the ideology, going further and further onto the right.
Yup, I’m aware. Or rather, a generalisation, that applies better elsewhere — the trashing of their companies is zbs rather specific to East Germany, but elsewhere you still see fascists trying to gather support from poorer demographics (e.g. rural Southerners in USA, Protestants in Brazil, etc.) I love that you went into the specifics though, this is actually important to contextualise it.
Yeah. Sorry if I came off as a pedant, but given how serious the threat AfD and similar far-right parties pose, I feel it’s important to go into the specifics. You need to know and understand the enemy to stand a chance of defeating it.
No need to apologise - you didn’t come off as a pedant, and the stuff you said is completely relevant.
Plus as I mentioned my German isn’t exactly stellar, and I only realised there was an English audio after @[email protected] pointed it out. That increases the odds I got something wrong, by quite a bit.
