  • And to be even clearer: the only reason why they chose this name was to appeal to common people and workers, the biggest part of the electorate. And it worked.

    One example of their bullshit: They promised an end to unemployment and they did manage to get millions back into a job! How, you ask? Why, by making them build public sector projects like the Autobahn in MANUAL LABOR. While back then obviously very good machines already existed. But they’d need 1 operator and not 10 “hard-working, strong Aryan men with shovels and pickaxes”.

    Of course, most of the public infrastructure projects didn’t benefit the public. It benefitted Hitler’s war machine a few years later. Can’t roll your Panzers over dirt roads.

  • Not officially but you can bet your ass they have very close opinions. At least the AfD still publicly says they’re democrats. Anything else wouldn’t be possible with our constitution anyway, there’s a bunch of checks and balances built in in ever since the Nazis dismantled the Weimar Republic. In a completely legal way back then, by the way. Thankfully that’s not possible anymore.
