You rail against immigrants and the democracy and not to say “We are right”. Supporters of the AfD and co. feel misunderstood and thus accelerate the value change in the social center.
Björn Höcke (center) takes part in a Demonstration with Pegida and Pro Chemnitz
“We are not Right, damn it”, contrary to the call of the ZDF presenter Dunja Hayali. The Video is from last Saturday, and is placed under the title of “Dunyas lesson” to the network. Hayali had travelled to Chemnitz to discuss with the participants of the rally organized by the AfD, Pegida and Pro Chemnitz. “There are also people in the middle,” gets a man so angry, as a television journalist would like to talk about the difference between right and extreme right.
Right extreme positions is not a taboo anymore
The self-understanding of these demonstrators show that rather extreme ideas had arrived in the middle of the society, says Johannes Kiess from the University of Siegen and co-editor of the “Leipziger ‘middle’ study”. The scientists determined every two years on the basis of surveys of the condition of the social center. “Today, it is increasingly less of a taboo, to represent, according to extreme right-wing positions.” Possible it had become also, because the national socialist and anti-Semitic positions are increasingly out of the communication of right-wing groups to the outside, exiled. “With the Muslims, right-wing groups have created a new enemy image, is clearly better suited for the center of society,” says Kiess. Many people with extreme right-wing positions would not perceive himself, therefore, even more extreme, because it was a matter of proximity to national socialism.”Extreme right-wing refer to themselves never to themselves as such. It is also not a new phenomenon, that you want to be considered as neither right nor left,” says Steffen Kailitz from the Hannah-Arendt Institute for totalitarianism research. “The Italian fascists and parts of the national socialists have always insisted that they don’t want to be to the Right or to the left to be understood.”

Right-wing onslaught in Chemnitz: why the hate?
With a view to the center of the society, the people’s wing of the AfD and the PEGIDA movement pursued a strategy of “respectable radicalism”, of the experiments, without riot slogans on a bourgeois-conservative debates. “Slogans such as ‘lying press’ or ‘resistance’ that were shouted at the demonstrations in Chemnitz, are to be considered in the context of the extreme right,” says Kailitz in the DW-Interview.
Shift in the boundaries of
Rather extreme ideas had come from the middle of society, Matthias Quent, Director of the Institute for democracy and civil society, to bear in mind. “The AfD, it is now possible to mobilise this potential and latent resentment as a political Alternative.”
Of 65,000 took part in a concert against right-wing agitation in Chemnitz
A strategy for success of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is the displacement of the boundaries of the sayable, explains Johannes Kiess. The AfD prior to the breach again and again with radical Statements, the revised and then again partially. Examples of the trivialization of the Nazi era by Alexander Gauland as “bird-shit” of the story or Björn Höckes name “monument of shame” for the Holocaust-memorial. It was a matter of a shift in meaning in the minds. Although the AfD dissociate after that, occasionally, of the opinions or you download games, the statements in the media and in the discourse. So the perception would be changed. “Something that was previously a taboo, is the norm, even in Parts of the society mid”, the researchers from the University of Siegen.
That extreme positions advanced in the middle, see you in Chemnitz, explains Steffen Kailitz from the Hannah-Arendt Institute for totalitarianism research. “The AfD had no Problem with this a common Demonstration with right-wing extremists to cite, and to document this accordingly on media images.” Two years ago, so Kailitz, would have tried the AfD-tip to Frauke Petry to prevent with all means against the extreme right-wing part of their party, Björn Höcke.
The struggle for sovereignty of interpretation
However, not only the limits of the sayable are stretched, the realities between AfD-supporters and opponents drift apart. So Beatrix von Storch referred to the participants of the “We are more”- a concert against right-wing agitation as “Merkel’s subjects. You are called vile and dancing on graves”, on your Twitter Account. In the case of such statements if it were all about the “pseudo-moral interpretation of the events in Chemnitz to claim”, says the sociologist Matthias Quent, from the Institute for democracy and civil society in Jena.
“The slaughter goes on and on,” tweeted Alice ryegrass as a reaction to the murder in Chemnitz. Especially the instrumentalisation of shocking cases, for the refugees or other migrants are responsible, whether the Central field of action of the radical Right, Quent. “By emotionalizing objective realities to be moved.” The AfD took advantage of the “acts of violence from the area of the Refugees, to distribute to their Position in the population,” commented Steffen Kailitz. If you are not wool, extreme right-wing positions in the middle of society is firmly adhered, you would have to prevent it from the AfD would be able to determine the political discussion and all of the current social problems in Germany the immigration is due Kailitz.
Polarization is increasing
Germany had no right extremes of the country, because the researchers agree. But there is in Germany a rather extreme potential of ten to 20 percent of the population, Matthias Quent. “The most important question for me is how the majority of this potential deal.”
“The polarization is increasing”, warns also Kailitz. “If to speak only to each other and not with each other, it is dangerous.” This was also to ignore at Dunja Hayalis visit in Chemnitz. “What are they even doing here? To make you come home,” cried some voices in your direction.
