Summary

Over 200,000 people marched in Munich against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, with organizers claiming 320,000 participants.

The protests, held under the slogan “democracy needs you,” warned against any party collaborating with the AfD, particularly the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), ahead of legislative elections.

    Munich’s virtue carnival hits 200k clowns – unions and churches suddenly care about ‘democracy’ after decades of enabling the same neoliberal rot they’re now protesting. How quaint. The AfD’s deportation fantasies are just the latest distraction pantomime – focus on the real witches: a system where all major parties gut social programs while waving rainbow flags at cameras.

    This protest reeks of legacy media’s last gasp. Remember when these same orgs called anti-war marches ‘naive’ in 2003? Now they’re rebranding obedience as ‘resistance.’ Democracy isn’t dying – it’s a Weekend at Bernie’s corpse propped up by people who think hashtags count as civil discourse.

      Your comment almost gave me an aneurysm from how nonsensical it is.

      Crazy, I got the impression that a lot of people complain that the current governemt was too social, and Bürgergeld is too high and not harsh enough.

        Ah, the classic “too social” complaint—because heaven forbid a government prioritize basic human dignity over corporate dividends. Bürgergeld isn’t some utopian giveaway; it’s the bare minimum in a system that already demands your soul for scraps.

        What you’re hearing is propaganda-fed resentment, weaponized to pit people against each other while the real looters—banks, multinationals, and their political puppets—laugh all the way to their offshore accounts.

        If “too social” is the problem, then maybe the solution isn’t harsher policies but dismantling the rigged game that makes people beg for crumbs in the first place.

              Don’t frown at me, you’re the one that invented Schrödinger’s socialism.

                    Spot on with your question and he acts like a Gauleiter. They were the regional brainwashed Nazi politicians who later in the war would order the old and young men to join the Volkssturm units to die. As the front closed in on their desk, they would flee to the next desk and repeat the process.

                  You know why I dig into you? People like you always poppig up close to an election spouting discouraging propaganda of a dead democracy and implying that people should better stay at home instead of voting.

                  Coincidentially with a core message most of us would agree with.

                  You are spreading the propaganda we should be aware of that you pretemnd to warn me from.
