The scenes in Chemnitz have rightly horrified not just activists and antifascists in Germany, but people around the world appalled at the appearance of right-wing hooligans flooding the streets of Germany, making the Hitler salute and using the death of an individual to stoke an openly fascist world outlook. However, while few doubt the seriousness of the situation, press coverage has been subpar in Germany and simply abominable in the English-speaking world. Since the beginning of the "refugee crisis" and Chancellor Angela Merkel's (CDU) decision to adopt a public face ( though hardly a policy ) of welcoming migrants, the media has promoted the concept that Germans "left behind" by economic and social change or otherwise upset with the move have been on one end of a "sharp divide" and a "backlash." While it is undeniable that many in Germany have been detrimentally impacted by neoliberal economic policies , the media, especially in t...

Since the G20 in July of last year, the German state has moved to the right at an ever-more rapid and frightening pace. From the massive police repression , increased surveillance , attacks on left platforms and locations , and imprisonment of leftist protestors , the actions of the Grand Coalition (GroKo) government (comprised of the Orban-aligned CDU/CSU and Social Democratic SPD) have evoked many eerie memories of the first Grand Coalition , a government in office during the events of 1967-68 which enacted various oppressive measures, leading to the creation of the Extra-Parliamentary left opposing the two parties comprising 95 percent of the Bundestag.  The 1966 grand coalition was formed amid an environment of left-wing protest and rebellion in West Germany and the world. Students were gassed and even shot protesting right-wing Arab leaders allied to the German government , especially the Shah of Iran, while the tabloid media (mostly the Springer Press) heaped prai...
