Perhaps you haven’t noticed but AFD came in second overall in the last election. Again, I ask you, how many more elections until they form Government in your opinion?
They’re sitting at 20%, so never. Best they can hope for is a coalition government with the other right wing party, and at least they won’t be running the show. And even if that happens, I don’t see how that’s any worse than a merger of right wing and far right parties, which if anything is more insidious.
Absolutely. Addressing the material conditions caused by rampant corporatism is the only way to address the rise of the far right, because it’s a reactionary movement to perceived threat to their way of life. That and increased access to education.
And you can’t do that with two corporatist parties swapping power back and forth without any real alternative.
Perhaps you haven’t noticed, but in the US, the AFD equivalent is literally running the county. I’ll take deadlock over that noise any day.

Thank you for at least understanding at an elementary level that PR does not prevent Far right extremism like you once claimed.
Take care.
