Germany: In the Streets against Fascism, Again
http://crimethinc.com/Germany2024
The far-right party Alternative für Deutschland (“Alternative for Germany”) has been gaining momentum in German politics since 2017, when they entered the parliament. On January 10, 2024, an investigative journalism group reported that prominent members of the AfD had met with a member of another fascist party to devise a plot to deport millions of immigrants, including those with German citizenship. This precipitated a wave of anti-fascist demonstrations around Germany.
In this translation and interview, German anti-fascists explore the rise of fascist politics in Germany and the potential of the mobilizations against it.
