The nuts part is that AfD voters aren’t even that right-wing. Lots of people there who are actually socialists (they’re largely from the east, after all) but are absolutely fed up and don’t see another way. BSW will wreck absolute havoc on the AfD’s results for that reason alone. I have my issues with their foreign policy but damn we need a party that actually advocates for expropriating landlords, if only to cut through capitalist realism the otherwise largely labor-aristoctrat rest of the left is stuck in. It’s not VW workers who have trouble making rent.
This has a fascist level “unwilling to examine why so many people are deeply miserable in liberal society” take on why people become fascists.
