Who broke Pandora’s vase?
A few weeks ago, Elon Musk invited the Germans to vote for AFD, alternatives Für Deutschland, a far -right party. A few days later, Friedrich Merz, the probable future chancellor, knocked for the first time the size wall of the German political system against extremism, accepting Afd’s votes for an anti-immigration motion (then rejected). On February 14, the American vice -president JD Vance praised that same political formation in a press conference, and then meet his leader, Alice Weidel.
The far left party Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW), isolated by a similar health cordon, has never been mentioned, therefore more than a sincere afflatus in favor of European pluralism, that of Vance recalls a regulation of accounts between American antagonistic administrations, making the bank on the poor Europe: if Joe Biden in 2021 I accelerate the future entry of Ukraine into the alliance Atlantica, Donald Trump will charge all the costs of the war that arose to Europe, and then decided that, after all, Ukrainian will never enter NATO. The leaders of alternatives Für Deutschland would only be happy to endorse this decision.
Beyond the hateful interference of the Trump government in European issues, is the fall of the barrier wall to the anti -system parties? How will Germany come out of Angela Merkel’s Legacy-Legacaccio, without freeing the two great political wings formed by those who do not share the constituted political order?
AFDs are often associated with sympathies for Adolf Hitler. An expert will deny me, but “The inclusion of controversial characters aims to stimulate reflections and challenge social norms”. If you think that the quotation marked has been pronounced in defense of the far -right party, you are wrong. In reality, it refers to John Lennon who had thought of including the face of the Führer on the cover of the Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (IDEA then cassata). Similarly, in 2025 the priority in Europe is “stimulating reflections” on an economic and military economic system that no longer holds.
In periods of new world orders, we humans have the ability to self-impress the torture of superstructures often judged ridiculous by posterity: the wigs of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were forms of aesthetic perfectionism, as well as one status symbol, to the courts of the absolute monarchies. The politically correct is a type of communicative perfectionism that began to stick to our way of thinking after the end of the Cold War. The ‘tunnel view’, typical in the years of Angela Merkel, was a political setting of those who always and only look towards the center, and ignore the ends, also because they are deprived of permanent sight.
Lenin said that there are decades in which nothing happens, and weeks in which decades happen. In the latter case, the superstructures of the previous period suffer a tabula rasa. The eighteenth -century wigs were swept away by the French Revolution of 1789. The politically correct still sticking us. The ‘tunnel view’ survived the kingdom Of the Merkel, and in the future we could see that to get rid of it we needed the pedantic and paternalistic tones of a Moscone called Elon and a deputy called Vance.
