Online campaigns like these have helped radicalize a broad swath of Germany’s youth, making extreme-right ideas that were once relegated to the margins of German political discourse increasingly mainstream. The Young Alternative, the AfD youth organization that put out the dance video, has been classified by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency as an extremist group since last year.

The far right is the logical conclusion to the centrist rhetoric of the last few decades. It’s underpinned by the same ideas, whereas leftist ideology is fundamentally different. That’s to say, far right ideology isn’t more inviting only to young men, but also to everyone else who has internalised capitalist ideology.

I can see that from an American perspective. But in Europe we’re also very familiar with socialist centrism. In fact, the word socialism no longer has any meaning here.

I’m European too, and our left wing parties have all started sliding towards the right. Which ones of them are actually proposing anything outside of the current neoliberal framework?

Do… do you know what either of those words mean????
