@dwnews: Why is a German state election making global headlines? As the far-right extremist Alternative for Germany (AfD) gains ground in Saxony‑Anhalt, young eastern Germans share what life feels like in a region still struggling with lower wages, fewer opportunities, and fading trust in democracy. #dwgermanpolitics

I think these young people are being failed but if they think the AfD has their best interests at heart, just look at how "great" MAGA is

Young people around the world are disillusioned with capitalism, but social media and the powers that be have convinced them it’s because of diversity. As an American.. I hope Germany can reverse this trajectory before it’s too late.

“Extremist far right” and their only “far right” view is that Germans have a right to feel patriotic again and not ashamed of their heritage

I would understand if people say "Der Dritte Weg" party is extremely far right, but the AfD isn't, there are Ausländers that support the AfD

The reason there are fewer high-paying industries in East Germany is because after the Soviet occupation of East Germany ended, companies in the West who had enjoyed a free market and had more free capital bought up state-owned companies for pennies on the dollar and then systematically moved every single big company to the West, surgically destroying any chance the East had to stand on its own two feet. The true reason the East is so much weaker economically than the West is because our government at the time allowed the East to be plundered. (I say this as someone from West Germany.)
