The AfD looks set to take power in a German state for the first time. In a DW exclusive, the front-runner in Saxony-Anhalt discusses plans to detain immigrants and revamp the school system, and relations with Russia.
I think you are forgetting that Germany actually has committed a Holocaust against Jews and that this Holocaust began as a politically fringe movement.
One of the leading parties of in Germany literally has Theology in the name, you have to be kidding me if you don’t think Germany is right on the edge of succombing to fascism.
but I don’t see Nazism taking control of Germany, by taking control of a German government.
The opposition to them is too strong for that.
Why? Were there not many who were at first opposed the first time the Nazis did it in Germany? Fascism takes over by taking the reigns of government and convincing empty centrists to stick to their obsession with decorum instead of sounding the fire alarm like they need to, it does not require a broad endorsement of it by a majority of the population. To believe it does is very very dangerous.
It looks pretty meager to me.
