The Lusatia chooses AfD
The AfD does not want a stop of the coal mining, no closing of the coal power plants. She denies climate change.
The workers in the coal-fired power stations, on the other hand, know very well that coal mining must be stopped. They know that climate change is having a dramatic impact. But they also know that they have to bear the costs again and not society as a whole. As always with company closures, you will be driven into unemployment. You have to stand in line at the employment offices, now bashfully called “employment agencies”, and apply for assistance. And if they are not prepared to travel long distances to work and accept unskilled jobs, they will be denied payment of the contributions they have saved. And once the recession has started and the return on investment has fallen, there is little prospect of their situation getting better.
And the media are not ashamed to even play off the school movement against them and to demand that Greta Thunberg must explain to the workers the necessity of closing their factories, how perfidious. The workers of course know that climate change has to be stopped, but of course they do not see that they have to bear the costs and not the whole of society. The renovation of collapsing “Bismarck Towers” and other nonsensical “investments” as proposed by the Altmaier Commission will not be enough.
Who should the workers vote for, if not the AfD? The fact that the assertions and promises of the parties before the elections should not be taken seriously belongs to the general knowledge of the voting population. But the AFD at least takes care of the concerns and hardships of the people of Lusatia, she does not talk down and does not ignore them.
And the AfD does not claim, like the SPD under the influence of its sociologists, that there would be no more workers. But a denial of existence is the biggest insult you can do to someone.
Therefore, only a few upright, local SPD officials could win the trust of voters and win 7,8% of voters in Saxony. The bureaucratic layer, which enforces the austerity course in Berlin, must first be completely removed before a social-democratic party can again gain significant influence.
And the party “Die Linke” struggles with its “open border” faction. This faction gives the impression of a sect to a normal worker. Anyone who calls for open borders for everyone cannot credibly stand up for the poor and old in Germany, and the demand for a tax on the rich does nothing to change that.
As long as the bourgeois parties still manage to form a government, and the Greens are glad to be at their disposal, even if they still adore themselves, the claims of the losers of social change can still be rejected. And the wealthy middle class sets the tone, can enforce tax cuts and shift all burdens down to the lower classes.
Only when the social fermentation progresses and the social division becomes more apparent, the hour of the AfD beats.
