Agreed that the AfD are a ways off from any real power, for which we should all be thankful, and realistic about.
But…the fact they even exist and currently attract at least 20% of the electorate is cause for deep depression in and of itself. Perhaps it’s amnesia, or just simply stupid human nature, but I’m both aghast and incredulous that Germany could countenance another Nazi party.
And they are Nazis. No swish black uniforms yet, but give them time, and who knows? From small acorns and all that jazz…
Agree about the rent issue here, too. Kapitalismus is a bitch, ain’t it? How we counter it without protesting is beyond me, though, because government certainly won’t clip the wings of the rentier landlords.
