Mainstream politicians express alarm while lead candidate in Saxony-Anhalt welcomes congratulations from Elon Musk
Mainstream politicians around Europe have expressed alarm after the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) swept to a historic state election victory in Germany, while nationalist figures cheered the result as a mandate for change.
While falling just short of an absolute majority, the AfD surged into first place in the Saxony-Anhalt state election on Sunday, exit polls showed, putting the far right within reach of power at the state level for the first time since the second world war.

Never said that. Mao was a leader of the chinese proletariat
I know revolutionary leaders are good thats why I support Mao, Stalin, Lenin, Castro, Ho Chi Minh, etc.
Nah, Mao was a straight up tyrannical dictator. Your other idols aren’t a great bunch either. Being a police fanboy is messed up
Mao was not a dictator, not by the liberal definition even. How am I a police fanboy? My idols are some of the greatest individuals ever who fought for the liberation of working class and hence the liberation of humanity
Mao was, by almost every meaning of the definition, a dictator, unless he was a Roman magistrate, but i dont think that one applies. You fanboy for people who say they want to liberate the working class and go on to be a despot. They by no means are for you, or the working class. The working class are a means to their end, that end is power and control.
Prove to me how was he a dictator
Its incredibly infuriating and shows cognitive dissonance of liberals when they term historical revolutionary leaders who basically changed the course of history as people who were just hungry for power. Just shows why conservatives are winning
He was the uncontestible ruler of the country, having people he disagreed with killed?
Like, open a history book?
Conservatives are winning because they are cheating.
who were the people that disagreed with him? landlords, nationalists, reactionaries? who cares about them?
And every decision in maoist china wasnt made by mao, it was made by the party which took direct feedback from the people.
Conservatives are winning the elections fair and square, stop crying about it. People will move to right the more you keep feeding them neo liberalism and culture war
Whoever was needed to be the scapegoat. Anyone who had any dissent was silenced.
Right the party that he was the unquestionable leader of. Im sure they really listened to the people…
No, they aren’t. Im not crying about it, what a silly thing to say. People will move to the right when they are let down by the system that’s when the authoritarians take power.
Strange that you seem to think my disagreement with far left authoritarians is an endorsement of the far right ones, or even of the current system. Talk about culture war
not really. Decisions were taken after proper discussion
He was leader of the party, not the sole decision maker there.
This system is working as expected and it is meant to let people down, nothing can stop it and liberals cant stop crying every 4 year to vote harder.
Left wing “authoritarians” are good, right wing authoritarians are bad. History has proven this.
