Introduction: "The recent election in Saxon-Anhalt Germany, marks a major turning point. For the first time in post-war Germany, an openly fascist party is near enough in an election to take over a state government. Of course this is the “Alternative for Deutschland” AfD. It is in the view of the Financial Times columnist Gideon Rachman: “truly an event of global significance. The AfD’s Saxony branch has been classified as rightwing extremist by Germany’s domestic intelligence services. Some in the party flirt with Nazi imagery and slogans.” “A German election result heard around the world”; Financial Times; 7 September 2026. It is true that the AfD has not won an absolute majority meaning it cannot rule without a coalition. But it needs only 3 turncoats from one of the other parties to achieve this. It is likely that Sara Wagenknecht’s Bundis Sara Wagenknecht (BSW); or the ruling CDU members will provide that. The BSW previously has said that they would do so in needed, and the Conservative Christian Democratic Union formed the early membership of the AfD – and has been flirting with the AfD for some time. While no doubt the AfD is openly fascist and anti-immigration – it does not appear this was the deciding issue for voters. According to one exit poll cited by the correspondent of ‘Conter” (a Socialist organisation in Scotland based in Edinburgh and Glasgow) – in a podcast, participants would had voted for the AfD said the motivating factor for them was as follows: Immigration 9% Economy 15% Peace in Europe 17% Social Security 25% Hear at minute 4’37 seconds at: Conter podcast here It seems that social security and economic issues took precedence. The main culprit for the rise of the AfD to this position is those who colluded in ruling parties with this agenda. Namely social democrats in the SPD and Die Linke, who refused to take a principled position against the on-going cuts in social services and prospects of pension cuts. The ongoing mass job cuts at the motor car factories – most recently at Volkeswagen – add to the extraordinary uncertainty and economic insecurity of the working class…. The following article was written before the results were known, by “Arbeit Zukunft”. We give a machine translation of this below. It shows the provenance of the AfD as a capitalist party.
