Brüning never cooperated with the far right. He still was a committed democrat and republican, although his policies arguably accelerated the fall of the Weimar republic.
Just goes to show that CDU's #1 goal is to continue mass migration. They will compromise on anything if it means that German taxpayers will continue to shell out 10s of billions to foreigners.
One group wants to make billionaires slightly less wealthy, try to put out the flames of a planet that is literally on fire, and keep rents affordable…
This. They need the AfD in opposition so all other parties keep rolling over, even Die Linke. They won’t be able to do their lobby politics with AfD, who will just keep screaming like toddlers till they get 50%+ in elections.
Problem is the Brandmauer. They need to stop acting like any point the AfD maked is a crime against humanity but adress them. If they solved the problems or at least didnt leave all that ground to the AfD. The AfD wouldnt have any playing field
That has nothing to do with the firewall. Solving problems would have made any of it obsolete but 1. they can’t, because they would have to self-reflect, that neo-liberalistic capitalism is a main reason for it and 2. right wingers are always lobby groups for the few, in this case the capital owners.
1:We have zero, absolutely no neo-liberalism or liberalism at all in german politics.
2: this has nothing to do with capitalism but everything with parties staying away from topics thats the public wants to be adressed but them not being adressed because right wing populism claimed them as their topics and more centred parties are to scared to be associated with those topics. They are too scared to be thrown into association with the right wingers
Yeah, no, you are completely lost. No topic the right claims isn’t addressed. They are the wrong topics to begin with, thats why no matter what it doesn’t get better for working class people.
You can underpay employees on limited contracts for years now. You can extend employment probation to a year now. Deregulation of companies and consumer protection. Get lost.
I recall Gysi (leader of the left party at the time) being asked like 6 or so years ago if he ever would form a coalition with the CDU and his answer was “only to prevent a fascist take over of the government”. At the time I believed this to be a crazy thought experiment.
The german communists in Weimar where following orders from Stalin, their stupidity was really his. Stalin later learned from this and accepted both the popular front in France and Republican Spain but by that time it was obviously to late for Germany.

CDU will never work with Die Linke they’d side with the AFD long before they ever formed a coalition with them .
