PATRIOTIC SOLIDARITY: AN ALTERNATIVE FOR GERMANY?

PATRIOTIC SOLIDARITY: AN ALTERNATIVE FOR GERMANY?

Schnitz

The AfD has lost its parliamentary group status in Schleswig-Holstein and thus in the third state parliament. The MP Frank Brodehl announced his departure from the party on Friday during a debate in the Kiel state parliament. In a statement, Brodehl announced that the development of the party was decisive for his decision.

A few days ago, two AfD members of the state parliament from Lower Saxony and the recently voted state chairman Dana Guth declared their departure from the AfD parliamentary group. With that, the AfD lost its parliamentary group status. In Bremen, the AfD faction had already broken into two smaller groups a year ago.

"Instead of establishing the AfD as a bourgeois-conservative political force, both the state board and the clear majority of the district boards systematically promote the radicalization of the party," the MP wrote on Facebook. As an example, he cited the use of "Nazi vocabulary", the "application of NPD materials" and the "defamation of a Flensburg teacher by name on the Facebook page of the regional association combined with the request to" build up pressure "against them.

We can now doubt that the AfD will make a dent in the polls at the next election, and that it will then likely split into at least two parties: a radical wing led from the East with members in the West, and an increasingly irrelevant ‘moderate’ wing led from the West and dwindling there. This split that was provoked and heated up by party chief Meuthen cannot sustain itself for much longer as cuck MPs are causing the actual loss of parliamentary power in an increasing number of states.

The AfD was meant to a become controlled opposition, in their own words a “bourgeois-conservative” party which explicitly echoes the “nazi”-diffamations slung around by their political enemies, the Left, and the political intelligence agencies against their more rightwing party comrades. As a final effort to sabotage the ‘rise of fascism’ in their own ranks (whereas they were already called nazis years ago when the party had less radical membership) they are now sinking their own ship.

The real take-away here is that a right-wing party has no chance of succeeding in the “West” of Germany. If there was an appetite, the states with the most aggressive diversification such as NRW would see at least somewhat significant polling for literally anyone who could bring a stop to it.

The facts speak for themselves: West Germany cannot have enough diversity and increasingly votes Left and pro-open borders.  Especially the younger generations flock towards the Greens and the left parties. The three leftist parties captured exactly 50% of the votes cast by under-25s in the last EU elections, and 46% in the recent municipal elections in the state of NRW where the AfD even failed to secure the 5% hurdle for representation. “He who controls the youth, controls the future” is an oft-cited phrase by an author who’s name escapes me for the moment.

However! I wish not to blackpill the reader. Looking at last year’s state elections in Thuringia, the picture is dramatically different: Here, the under-30s voted massively for either the Far-Left or the (actual) Far-Right.

What are the causes of this widening gap between East and West German voters?

It is interesting to note that none of these young voters grew up in the German Socialist Republic and hence do not have ‘personal nostalgia’ for the former state like their older peers, who largely vote Left or ChristDems.

However, the East of Germany is characterized by extremes overall as a result of its political history. Overall, the DDR established a system in which you had the idealist party-cadres who got the cream of the crop and ‘managed’ the working & peasant classes. However, in turn, these working & peasant classes were never great supporters of the system as such and also established & maintained a high degree of informal as well as ‘formal’ network of cooperation, mutual aid, and family ties. Essentially: looking out for each other and not trusting the state too much. 

In addition to this, while there was foreign labour at times from the other Soviet satellites, there was never any large-scale permanent settlement of foreigners a la West Germany in the 60s and thus DDR, like many satellites, was essentially ethnically conserved. In combination with the aforementioned pressure from above, one can see the Eastern Germans were essentially pressured to evolve systems of high-trust and close ties that now have an increasing undercurrent of native solidarity as the previous system forced them to evolve stronger mechanisms of trust and distrust.

"We want to be free people." What began as a spontaneous workers' uprising in East Berlin culminated in a nationwide mass protest against the government in the DDR. On June 17, 1953, the Socialist Unity Party (SED) bloodily crushed it.

There are many interesting debates to be had to what extent the DDR could be called ‘nationalist’ or ‘internationalist’, as the state very strongly co-opted nationalist terms and organisation methods. In many ways it had a higher degree of similarity to the fallen Reich than its Western, US-controlled enemy with regard to creating and maintaining a specific national identity. This identity denounced consumerism and individualism and specifically trained citizens to work towards the common good. Unfortunately the common good is too often grifted from by the apparatchiks (bureaucrats) in socialist systems but that is another story.

So today, the youth finds itself in the ruins of YET ANOTHER attempt to establish a militarised and collectivised German state, with industry taken over and plundered by Western oligarchs and market cowboys after the fall of the Wall. The West essentially cannibalised the East for parts and has left it to rot for decades with the occasional handout thrown in. However, the Leftovers of the previous system stuck around and became the Left-party which, while espousing some oldschool socialism, is also dedicated to importing much of the Western pro-refugee ideology and its physical manifestations. This is attractive to the post-collapse middle-class, who see the chance to become the new intelligentsia that parades around the empty ‘solidarity’ pushed by the previous and new Systems onto the people.

"Social without becoming red". Björn Höcke, chief of the Thuringian AfD and leader of the now dissolved informal right wing of the party at a speech outlining his fraction's social policies.

In the OTHER corner, we have the ‘survivors’ of the DDR collapse. The working and dissident middle-classes, who above all had an interest in an upright and honest Germany and cheered at the prospect of reunification and prosperity, saw both capitalist and communists continue to tear into the flesh of their newly vulnerable state. Thus, while the concept of ‘solidarity’ and helping your actual neighbor and community was still echoed into the new generation, they knew enough not to fall for the Leftist carrot and its poison core. That is why a ‘socialist-patriotic’ Alternative for Germany holds such political promise for these young voters. They understand also the danger that mass immigration will pose to the increasingly fragile post-collapse (pre-collapse?) solidarity as they have seen how little social trust in fact exists in the West, aside from rampant waves of migrant crime that are beginning to lap at their own shores.

This is why another ‘liberal-conservative’ party that is a bad clone of the 80s Christian Democrats would only really appeal to a bloc of market-conservative Eastern Boomers as opposed to their descendants.  As usual, the conservatives do not actually ‘conserve’ anything, and the steady march to the left in the West over the past 20 years has shown this. The left party has never been in power in the ‘West’ save Berlin, which is just an accelerated failed state 20 years ahead of most other German cities that experience turboliberalism. Yet its effects are seen and felt in every city regardless of the affiliation of its political CEOs.

We see thus that while the Socialist system forced people into one form of solidarity through pressure from above (forced collectivisations, corruption and grift, ideological phrasing), the new Liberal-Capitalist system that at its core pushes the Great Replacement awakens the necessity for ethnic solidarity as well.  The few jobs that remain in the East should not be given over to foreigners willing to work for low wages while they establish their own exclusive-trust communities in the ruins of yet another Germany. 

"Every German Patriot will help the rebuilding of Berlin!" If only their architectural taste hadn't been so terrible...perhaps this poster will be relevant again one day.

Recently we can even see a new "Querfront" (joint front) forming between dissident Leftists and the AfD in the East. One example for this is the recent excommunication of a local Left party-leader in the Eastern state of Brandenburg. His crime: advocating for the building of a new Youth Centre together with a municipal politician from the AfD. Haram!

It is ultimately a simple division between two kinds of people: Those that believe WE CAN DO IT OURSELVES (as we always have), versus those weak-armed leftists that always feel the need to get someone else to do everything for them. Which way, Eastern Germans? Eternal Revolution, or German Revolution? We'll be watching closely.
