Mainstream politicians express alarm while lead candidate in Saxony-Anhalt welcomes congratulations from Elon Musk

Mainstream politicians around Europe have expressed alarm after the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) swept to a historic state election victory in Germany, while nationalist figures cheered the result as a mandate for change.

While falling just short of an absolute majority, the AfD surged into first place in the Saxony-Anhalt state election on Sunday, exit polls ⁠showed, putting the far right within reach ​of power at ‌the state level for ‌the first time since the second world war.

    "Time to restore a extremist dictatorship to avoid the other extremist dictatorship. Fuck off. How about “democracy must be preserved” instead?

          Ah so Marxist leninists love a singular tyrannical dictator? I didnt realize Mao was a “the proletariate”.

          “hurr hurr revolutionary leaders bad only voting good”

          What a strange thing for you to support. You clearly dont know this, but revolutionary leaders can be good! I’d suggest you learn your history. Voting can be good but its not always the answer. Don’t worry you will understand with some learning

            Never said that. Mao was a leader of the chinese proletariat

            I know revolutionary leaders are good thats why I support Mao, Stalin, Lenin, Castro, Ho Chi Minh, etc.

              Nah, Mao was a straight up tyrannical dictator. Your other idols aren’t a great bunch either. Being a police fanboy is messed up

                Mao was not a dictator, not by the liberal definition even. How am I a police fanboy? My idols are some of the greatest individuals ever who fought for the liberation of working class and hence the liberation of humanity

                  Mao was, by almost every meaning of the definition, a dictator, unless he was a Roman magistrate, but i dont think that one applies. You fanboy for people who say they want to liberate the working class and go on to be a despot. They by no means are for you, or the working class. The working class are a means to their end, that end is power and control.

                    Prove to me how was he a dictator

                    Its incredibly infuriating and shows cognitive dissonance of liberals when they term historical revolutionary leaders who basically changed the course of history as people who were just hungry for power. Just shows why conservatives are winning
