The AfD is not an alternative

The „Alternative für Deutschland“ (AfD) tries to move into the Bundestag (Lower House of German Parliament) this year. To do this, the AfD uses the crappy situation in Germany and sells itself as an alternative to the parties who have been defining politics for years. In terms of content, the AfD is concerned, however, to make racism, the image of women, and the exploitation conditions of a fascist state again into German policy. The AfD is also not interested in the environment.

We say: Fuck the AfD and all her friends!

Because the AfD is not an alternative for …

… Workers:

The AfD has to continue to soften laws against the protection of workers‘ rights. This means that the rights of workers will become even weaker and the working conditions and wages will be further worsened by all workers. Suitable for this purpose the AfD wants to institute further tax reductions for the rich.

That shows that the AfD is working on the fact that the gap between the poor and the rich become even greater: the poor are supposed to lose even more, and the rich are to gain even more.

The AfD will also worsen and complicate the regulations to the detriment of people without work.

The AfD stands for pure capitalism. This means that people (workers) are even more exploited by people (employers). The exploitation of human beings by human beings in the capitalist system will be further intensified if the AfD should come to power.

… Women

The AfD is against the equality of women and men. The AfD will restore the old image of women and families to normal. This means that women should look after the household and keep the family together and men should go to work and bring the money home. The AfD doesn´t want that women decide about their lives just as freely as men. The man should again be the determining family leader. The AfD wants to preserve classical family images by the fact that single women are to be ostracized.
… Gay, Lesbian, Intersexual, Transsexual

The AfD is against any recognition of other sexes than the male and female sex. The AfD is also against any recognition of other sexual orientations than the heterosexual, that is, the usual man-woman love. The AfD talks in its program about a „gender craze“ and apart from the recognition of gays, lesbians, inter- and transsexuals, the AfD also wants to stop the early sexual education of children at school. That means children should not be educated about their sexuality. In addition, people who do not fit into the man-woman scheme of the AfD should be socially excluded.

… Migrant:

The AfD calls for the closure of all borders. In general the AfD stands with its program for state racism.Politicians of the AfD are repeatedly exposed to racist statements. As an example, an AfD politician asked for refugees to be shot at borders to prevent them from entering.

The racism of the AfD is not just about people who are now entering Germany and want to live here; many AfD politicians already say that they are concerned about the purity of the „German race“ (there is no „human race“ scientifically proven).

…Environmental Protection

The AfD does not care about environmental protection and it also has no idea what is good or bad for nature. The AfD writes seriously in its party program that the greenhouse effect is a falsification of scientific results and in reality the CO2 emissions of industry and co are good for nature and plants. How dumb can someone be.
…No one

The AfD is the opposite of what it claims, it is not an alternative, it is a big part of the problem. Racism, sexism, its will to exploit people even more, and their stupidity with regard to the environment and their protection, will not help anyone. If the AfD gain in power and move into the Bundestag, this has only disadvantages for all those who already doing badly. The AfD will continue to divide society, instead of abolishing social inequalities, exploitation and oppression.

Are there alternatives?

Also the other parties (the supposedly lesser evil) will not bring any improvement bacause the other parties manage misery only in a different way.

Instead of voting, we should fight problems together and self-determination and stand for a society in which the needs of all people are the focus. Speak with your colleagues, friends and family members; makes advertising against the AfD on Facebook, Instagram and other social media; be active against the propaganda of the AfD; do whatever you can to prevent the misery of AfD! Against the shift to the right!

In Hanover there are also groups that struggle against problems at work, social inequality and discrimination. We invite you to get in contact with them in order to work together against the AfD, Neonazis, problems with the landlords or injustice in the workplace. Examples of such groups can be found on our website under the category „Was sind Alternativen?“ (in English and German).
