Strategien gegen die Rechten: „Reformen abzuarbeiten, wird die AfD nicht schwächen“ (www.tagesspiegel.de)

Für Friedrich Merz (CDU), vor seiner Kanzlerschaft angetreten mit dem Versprechen, die AfD zu halbieren, werden die Umfragen zunehmend zur Belastung. „Das sind Umfragen, die mich natürlich auch besorgen“, sagte Merz zuletzt im ZDF. Die Strategie des Kanzlers, mit Reformen die AfD kleinzuregieren, geht bislang nicht auf.

Der Politologe Marcel Lewandowsky, der sich an der Martin-Luther-Universität in Halle/Saale mit dem Erstarken des Populismus und der Krise der Parteien beschäftigt, hält den Plan von Merz für illusorisch. „Reformen abzuarbeiten, wird die AfD nicht systematisch schwächen“, sagt er im Gespräch mit dem Tagesspiegel. Die Kommunikation des Kanzlers nennt er zudem „ungeschickt“.

[...]

Union und SPD dürften der AfD in dieser Melange thematisch nicht hinterherlaufen, warnt der Politologe. Die Verschärfung der Migrationspolitik etwa habe nicht für mehr Zuspruch der Bundesregierung gesorgt. Auch in der Wirtschaftskrise müssten die Parteien der Mitte daher mit eigenen Ideen punkten.

„Auf die wirtschaftlichen Herausforderungen sollten die demokratischen Parteien mit klaren Positionen polarisieren“, sagt Lewandowsky. „Mit technischen Details und Förderprogrammen dringt man in einer verunsicherten Bevölkerung nicht durch“, sagt der Wissenschaftler und kritisiert etwa das blasse Auftreten von Sachsen-Anhalts Ministerpräsident Sven Schulze (CDU).

[...]

Doch ob Merz dafür der richtige Kanzler ist, daran zweifelt Lewitan zunehmend. „Der Kanzler spricht wie ein Technokrat, und ihm als Millionär wird nicht abgenommen, dass er die Ängste und Sorgen der Menschen versteht.“

If you're looking for strategy against Nazis, you only have to look at how they were defeated in 1941-1945: with communism.

...they werent defeated by communism...but by people resisting from within and outside. Without US help the soviets would have fallen just the same. Also lets not put it as if the soviets were a better regiem to fall under

Gypsies, Slavs, Jews and disabled people surely prefer death over communism.

While yes, supression and life under a totalitarian survailance state without freedoms is still better than death. But i also bet they would have loved to not get this but rather be indipendent again and have democracy.

To add to this: Jews got hunted and killed by stalins orders, Slavs (others too but you gave them as example) lost their culture as faar as it didnt align with soviet values and also got killed (see holodomor)

And dont delude yourself. The soviet empire was not communist. It switched out the tsar oligarchy with their own

As all sane people should do

Why?

[–] RalfWausE_der_zwote@feddit.org 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Because communism also leads to mass death, but with the benefit of a bit more poverty and less social mobility

[–] plyth@feddit.org 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It came from inaptitude and insufficient development.

most scholars view the famine in Ukraine not as a genocide but rather as the result of badly conceived and miscalculated Soviet economic policies.

That inaptitude can be overcome which cannot be said about racism in fascist.

a bit more poverty and less social mobility

Why is social mobility a good thing? It implies an exploiting upper class. If everybody can receive good education, isn't that more important?

If you price maids, construction work and fruit picking in the US with regular wages, are people still not poor? The US mask poverty by exploiting others even more.

The free time of the workers has to be compared, not just their cars. What good is a nice car if you don't have time to drive it?

Dead is dead. For me, personally, it wouldn't make that much of a difference if i was killed due to malice or inaptitude.

In civilised nations (e.g. NOT the US) with some form of a capitalist system you still have time to... well... live you life without subscribing to a pipe dream of equality through poverty.

[–] plyth@feddit.org 1 points 15 hours ago

It would. First of all life is different. If you have to hide for racial reasons there is no hope and no opportunity to adapt. Life would be isolated on the run or in a camp, waiting for death.

In a famine, contrary to expectations, people share. The time till death is hard, but not cruel.

For the future, the difference is huge. Technology helps both. The chance of survival in racist fascism is minimal while the chance for famine is minimal in communism.

live you life without subscribing to a pipe dream of equality through poverty.

But we are changing that. Accumulation of capital means that everybody loses everything but the elite. The middle class is collapsing because the elite can outbid them for every investment opportunity.

It would be easy to resolve with a wealth tax. Capitalism means that the elite can buy the politicians and that they will prevent it.

I see they teach German history very poorly over there.

In fact, yes, the people who SAVED YOU FROM NAZISM were the Soviets, the fact that there's this level of Russophobia and anticommunism in Germany is because it was convenient for NATO to keep your Nazi roots. The US did a commendable job during the war with Lend-Lease, but its role in the war is severely overestimated. The UK got significantly more aid through Lend-Lease than the USSR, yet who defeated the Nazis?

Also lets not put it as if the soviets were a better regiem

Universal healthcare, free education to the highest level, guaranteed housing and abolition of homelessness, guaranteed jobs and abolition of unemployment, lowest rates of inequality in the history of the region, and literally eliminating Nazism. All of those are diametrically opposed to Nazism. There's a reason why your Nazi ancestors were hysterical about "Judeo-Bolshevism" and considered communists their greatest enemies.

Educate yourself. The fact that a German person out of anyone will be denying the Soviet victory against the Nazis is simply a form of Nazi propaganda.
