camping and explore lesser traveled roads UCI governance and performing data analysis the candidate of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) as Sonneberg district administrator in the federal state of Thuringia casts a spotlight on the growing fascist danger in Germany a representative of a party that trivialises the Third Reich and is made up of open fascists is taking on executive government responsibility for the first time since 1945 Sesselmann won with 52.8 percent of the vote against Christian Democratic Union (CDU) candidate Robert Köppel who received 47.2 percent and was also supported by the Social Democrats (SPD) The scenario could repeat itself in other district council and mayoral elections in the coming weeks and months the far right is now the strongest force in eastern Germany (excluding Berlin) and is the second strongest in Germany as a whole Clearly whipped up by the election success Thuringia fascist leader Björn Höcke has already put himself in play as his party’s possible candidate for chancellor in a future federal election the establishment parties reacted with a mixture of warnings mutual recriminations and covering their own tracks Thuringia’s state Interior Minister and SPD leader Georg Maier called the result a “dam breach” and an “alarm signal for all democratic forces.” The Green Party leader called the result “dismaying” and also “a warning to all democratic forces.” While Thuringia state Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow (Left Party) played down Sesselmann’s success as a “democratic election,” Left Party leader Martin Schirdewan wrote on Twitter: “Uncertainty is growing & the extreme right is cooking its brown [fascist] soup on it,” but the federal coalition government had “no courage to mess with the rich” and was “giving in to the culture war.” Above all the Christian Democrats (CDU/CSU) and Liberal Democrats (FDP) would “roll out the red carpet” for the AfD “by adopting their slogans & policies.” Schirdewan thus reveals more about the right-wing character of his own party and the role it itself plays in the rise of the AfD than he might like supported the right-wing CDU candidate Köppel in the run-off election and thus—to use the words of the Left Party leader—helped to “roll out the red carpet” for the AfD and fuel its far-right agitation and politics in Thuringia it is becoming clear that the Left Party in particular is also pushing through the interests of the “rich” and thus creating the despair and frustration that the right-wing extremists are exploiting Since its predecessor organisation reintroduced capitalism into East Germany 32 years ago the Left Party has repeatedly been involved in right-wing capitalist governments it leads a minority state government in Thuringia with the SPD and the Greens which decides and implements its social attacks with the support of the CDU Thuringia is one of the poorest federal states almost one in four children and one in three young adults is at risk of poverty that amounted to 76,770 children (23.7 percent) and 42,853 young adults aged 18 to 25 (34.1 percent) The district of Sonneberg is particularly affected by this According to data that Zeit Online “exclusively obtained and analysed from the Federal Employment Agency,” Sonneberg is ranked 621 out of all 636 medium-sized towns in nationwide salary rankings The current wages of people living in Sonneberg who are employed full-time and subject to social security contributions are 795 euros below the average German salary the gap between top and low earners has continued to widen over the last two decades the electoral successes of the AfD are not the result of a fascist mass movement According to current Deutschlandtrend polling by broadcaster ARD only just under a third of potential AfD voters were “convinced” by the party; 67 percent of those surveyed voted for the AfD “because they are disappointed by the other parties.” It speaks volumes about the right-wing character of the establishment parties that the AfD even receives antiwar votes because it criticises the NATO war against Russia The fact that the AfD won the election in Sonneberg mainly on the basis of protest votes does not lessen the perils of the situation Besides the differences with the 1930s—when the ruling class brought Hitler to power to prepare for world war and brutally suppress the workers’ movement—dangerous parallels also exist The book shows in detail how all the establishment parties ideological and political conditions for the rise of the AfD in recent years integrated the far-right party into the political system and adopted large parts of its programme themselves And it explains that the revival of German militarism and fascism ultimately has the same objective causes as in the last century “Global capitalism has not solved any of the problems that led to catastrophe in the 1930s economic and geopolitical contradictions are breaking out again with force,” wrote Vandreier With the formation of the first state government with the participation of Hitler’s NSDAP (Nazi Party) Thuringia played a central role in the rise of the Nazis as early as 1930 the state is once again a centre of right-wing conspiracy inside the state apparatus Here are just some of the most important facts On February 5, 2020, the CDU and FDP elected Thomas Kemmerich as Thuringia state prime minister with the votes of the far-right AfD As a result of an international wave of outrage Kemmerich was forced to resign and Ramelow was reelected But the deliberate strengthening of the AfD continued under the SPD-Left Party-Green minority government Only a few days after his reelection, Ramelow himself joined forces with the right-wing extremists He helped AfD candidate Michael Kaufmann into the office of vice president of the Thuringia state parliament with his own vote and boasted publicly about it He had “very fundamentally decided to clear the way for parliamentary participation which must be granted to every parliamentary group and FDP have been cooperating closely with the fascists as a glance at the parliamentary committees shows Science and Digital Society is headed by Dieter Laudenbach of the AfD (his deputy is Kemmerich) Other bodies led by the AfD are the committees for Migration Justice and Consumer Protection and for Environment The respective committee deputy chairs are recruited from the SPD and the Greens the AfD provides the deputy chair in the Prison Commission (a sub-committee of the Petitions Committee) led by the Left Party The run-off election in Sonneberg that made Sesselmann district administrator was itself part of this right-wing conspiracy hardly differed in content from that of the AfD representative Köppel was also supported by the far-right former head of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (as Germany’s secret service is called) who himself was the CDU candidate for the Thuringia district associations of Schmalkalden-Meiningen Suhl and Sonneberg (!) in the last federal elections imperialism and militarism” and campaigns for a “democratic The election of the AfD will further accelerate the collaboration of the establishment parties with the extreme right The reaction of the SPD mayor of the neighbouring district town of Coburg He was “of the opinion” that it was “not his place to comment negatively on the majority decision of the sovereign citizens of the Sonneberg district or even to scold the voters,” he wrote on Facebook When it came to the joint issues of the city of Coburg and the district of Sonneberg he said he would “take Mr Sesselmann to task in a very concrete way in his responsibility for the citizens of the region.” Workers and young people who are repulsed by the rise of the AfD and the cowardly and servile collaboration of the ruling elite with the fascists must draw the necessary political conclusions from the experiences of recent years The only party that consistently fights against the growth of the extreme right and the return of fascism and militarism in Germany and internationally is the Sozialistische Gleichheitspartei (SGP The building of the SGP and the International Committee of the Fourth International as a new revolutionary mass party of the international working class is the order of the day The most important lesson from history is that the struggle against fascism and war requires the struggle against their cause and against all parties defending this bankrupt system It requires the independent mobilisation of

After his plans for a Mid-Autumn Festival rebellion were leaked to the authorities Kuo Huai-yi (郭懷一) could not afford to wait any longer Dutch officers investigating the rumors of unrest had run into his party a night earlier where they saw “as many Chinese gathered together as there is grass in the field,” according to a letter written by then-Dutch Formosan governor Nicolaas Verburg All of them were armed with various primitive weapons such as bamboo spears and farming tools The Dutch officers fled back to Fort Zeelandia when Kuo and his men charged into the Dutch neighborhoods the Dutch had guns and the help of nearby Aborigines His head was later hung on a pole in front of Fort Zeelandia there were numerous clashes between Aborigines and the Dutch But Kuo’s rebellion mostly involved Han Chinese This is worth looking into because according to How Taiwan Became Chinese by Tonio Andrade scholars generally agree that there were only around 1,500 to 2,000 Han Chinese in Taiwan before the Dutch arrived in 1624 Many of them were likely part-time residents Andrade writes that at least 5,000 people participated in Kuo’s rebellion amounting to roughly one-fourth of the Han Chinese population at that time How did Taiwan’s Han Chinese population increase so much in just under three decades there was much chaos in China as the Ming Empire’s capital of Beijing fell to rebels in 1644 who in turn were driven out by the Manchus a year later But most sources agree that the Dutch had a lot to do with the mass migration as well Driven to desperation by societal unrest and natural disasters many Fujianese answered the calls of the Dutch who were seeking laborers to cultivate Taiwan’s fertile land by providing incentives such as transportation “The company provided what would-be Chinese colonists had lacked: a military and administrative structure to support their efforts,” Andrade writes enforcing contracts and providing policing and civil governance it made Taiwan a safe and calculable place to live and do business in.” Since it was illegal to set out to sea under the Ming It would be unlikely that they would attempt the treacherous journey back home they were essentially cut off from their friends and family in China,” historian Su Beng (史明) writes in History of Taiwan’s Resistance (台灣抗爭史) they had little choice but to live the rest of their lives in Taiwan.” Andrade writes that the Dutch relied much on these immigrants as they performed the “myriad jobs that underpinned Taiwan’s economy,” including clearing land for farming Things appeared to go well in the beginning but changes in colonial policy soon led to souring of relations between these new immigrants and their Dutch overlords the Dutch East India Company headquarters started urging the Dutch Formosa authorities to increase the colony’s revenue the chaos in China during the 1640s led to inflation of Chinese goods such as silk Their solution was to impose a number of new tolls and taxes that were mostly levied on the Chinese settlers These taxes would account for most of the colony’s revenue — Andrade writes that Verburg once commented: “The Chinese are the only bees on Formosa that give honey.” which Dutch soldiers used to “exploit their right to check for residency permits harassing travelers on the roads or conducting surprise night searches of Chinese residences.” Sometimes they even seized their belongings The officials urged the soldiers to restrain themselves stating in a letter: “It is no good policy to treat so badly that immigrant nation which has come over to us through lack of a better alternative … One should care for these people so that they might have a reason to stay where they are.” The Dutch initially promised Chinese settlers that they wouldn’t have to pay tax on their harvests but in the 1644 they started collecting a 10 percent rice tax Andrade writes that this became one of the Dutch East India Company’s main sources of income from Taiwan they also started charging Chinese who wanted to live in Aboriginal villages or trade with them every April Chinese merchants would openly bid for monopoly over trading rights to each Aboriginal village complaints against treatment of Chinese by Dutch soldiers increased it was only a matter of time before resentment would explode The Dutch colony’s agricultural output suffered due to the death and destruction during the rebellion Thousands of new Chinese migrants arrived the next year as the Qing army pushed its way south eventually dominating China in its entirety The flow of Han Chinese into Taiwan that the Dutch kicked off would continue on for the next few centuries they make up more than 95 percent of Taiwan’s population a column about Taiwan’s history that is
