A group of eight Holocaust survivors drew parallels between the current political climate and that of Germany in the 1930s. Some of them condemned the far-right Alternative for Germany party (AfD).
Eight Holocaust survivors have urged young people to shun far-right parties and vote to protect democracy at the upcoming European Union elections.
“For millions of you, the European elections are the first election in your lives. For many of us, it could be the last,” read the open letter, unveiled in Berlin on Tuesday.
“We couldn’t stop it back then. But you can today,” the eight authors wrote.
By <the “left” German party> do you mean the SPD or Die Linke? Die Linke literally means “The Left”.
At this point, left or right lost any meaning. Everyone has their dimension/criteria/issue for what’s considered left and right. It’s just meaningless.
The Social Democratic Party sounds pretty left to me. Scholz was supposed to be a “left wing” move compared to Angela Merkels CDU. We’re not seeing much “Left winging”.
This in turn will not motivate people to vote left wing. Thus boosting the right wing.
lol imagine spamming “allow trump to win to make a principled stand against genocide joe” articles to every community so much that people see your username and immediately downvote lmao
Maybe dont comment on another countries politics if your analysis doesnt go deeper than “the party is called ‘this’ so I recon they stand for ‘this’”. The spd is a centrist party, everyone in germany knows that
Well no.
he SPD is a far right party as they have proven by destroying the German democracy in order to bow down to israel. Everyone with eyes can observe this.
“Far-right”? yeah im really curious about the scale you are using. What would you call the AfD if they said tomorrow that they will suppport palestine?
The one with the examples given above about how they arrested and banned people from the country people for supporting Palestine and abolished freedom of speech.
I would call a perfect example of whataboutism to not have to engage with the examples I mentioned above.
They’re just asking you to explain the metric you’re using.
The one using Social and Democrat for the name. Unless Social in Germany always means National Socialist Movement I associate that with a party representing left values.
American Democrats were also supposed to be left wing. And the Republicans right wing. Now we have far far right and far right.
