Tierrechte Messel
For those who contend that weird idea, where nobody really knows where it emerged from, that “Punk is not political”. Well Anarcho-Punk is. Our take on the German “Vorfeld”-driven AfD being the new kid on the block in the political establishments of the BRD, with German speciesist core industries like “Müller” mammal hate.
The Child in the Well
The AfD presents itself in Germany’s 2026 political landscape as a party whose apparent unity shapes its internal mindset, while the long-term significance of internal divisions remains largely unexamined. On the Middle East conflict—particularly the war in Iran, triggered by the constant threats to Israel—opinions within the party diverge only slightly; internal debate revolves almost exclusively around short-term national interests. Party rhetoric insists that the challenges faced by Israel, Iran, or other regional actors are not Germany’s primary concern. Instead, the nation’s interest is foregrounded, framed through a narrowly defined pattern of German identity politics.
At the same time, the party claims to oppose “Islamization,” while its international alignments tacitly accommodate precisely those political structures—revealing a lack of interest in democratic global politics and a readiness to instrumentalize foreign authoritarianisms.
Its stance toward figures like MAGA and Trump is scarcely convincing, repeatedly leaning on unresolved fractures of the Nazi past. The German resistance during the Third Reich remains an unhealed wound; whenever unfreedom asserts itself from above, internal rifts flare anew. Yet in the public eye, every new statement or strategic shift is greeted like a shiny trinket: observers stretch their necks like rubber, full of enthusiasm, eager to see what “the new” will promise next.
On issues such as remigration and the Middle East, the party’s antisemitic fringe openly expresses sympathy for authoritarian states whose ideologically rigid orders systematically suppress minorities. These sympathies persist regardless of whether racism, remigration, or other national projects dominate the headlines.
Meanwhile, the legacy of National Socialist violence against Eastern European populations remains an unresolved wound in the AfD’s identity politics. Historical failures are instrumentalized to cover internal tensions, while external conflicts serve as convenient distractions.
Economically, the party could be delusional. German high-tech and traditional industries, globally networked and innovative, cannot simply be co-opted by nationalist fantasy; they operate relationally, embedded in international supply chains and markets.
The right-wing appropriation of German cultural history is a historical identity problem that seems insoluble from within. Long-standing fractures between freedom and authoritarianism, visible in German youth movements around the turn of the 20th century, continue to linger as historical facts behind the party’s puzzling inability to grasp—or avoid—the dynamics of totalitarianism, understood as a negative rather than a driver.
The elephant in the room is the belief that the Nazi legacy can be used as a lever of power. Yet the party lacks a contemporary economic foundation capable of sustaining national dominance—which casts doubt on this strategy, assuming that was the underlying idea. A staged “phantom” supremacy of German wealth may exist as an image, while international partners such as the United States and Russia likely watch developments with critical eyes from their vantage points.
Ideologies—religious, cultural, or otherwise—become instruments of oppression when fused with state power. The AfD’s fringe openly aligns with authoritarian models whose order rests on hierarchy, control, and the suppression of democratic dissent. Internally, the party presents itself as the guardian of German sovereignty; externally, it emulates authoritarian templates, particularly in its rhetoric on environmental issues and the discourse required to guide societal change.
Germany’s economic reality is incomparable to any historical precedent: industrial strength relies on networks, exports, and specialized innovations. A nationalist-autonomous power project, as the AfD seems to envisage, is therefore untenable. Detachment from democratic values in daily politics, combined with a top-heavy management style, might appear as a path to strengthen programmatic coherence—but the communicative praxis is precisely what drives internal decay in economic structures, contrasting workers’ realities with the priorities of leadership. This will not change with an improved sense of national identity, as past lessons have already shown.
The party’s façade is revealed not only ideologically but also practically: loudly proclaimed sovereignty collides with the limits of a globally interdependent productive capacity. Meanwhile, it remains content with ignoring structural contradictions beneath.
The attempt to roll back social projects associated with the progressive left or center exposes a fundamental problem: shallow engagement with social and environmental issues propels the party—and, in the broader West, similar currents—into a cyclical effort to “straighten out” the chaos left by past upheavals.
Retreat into outdated nationalist rhetoric becomes the default “solution,” even as the arenas that truly demand transparency and reform remain neglected.
