As the right-wing populist AfD surges in the polls, parts of the Left appear to be going off the rocker.

Jette Nietzard

As we already reported, Jette Nietzard, national spokesperson of the Green Youth Party, has hinted at the possibility of armed resistance if Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) manages to enter government after the 2029 federal elections. Her statements, made in a podcast by the public broadcaster RBB and repeated in an interview with the weekly Freitag, have sparked outrage due to their political and social implications.

“Will that resistance be intellectual or perhaps armed?” Nietzard asked during the ‘Freitag Salon’event recorded on July 21 at the Renaissance Theater in Berlin. Along the same lines, she stated: “Would we have to take up arms?”, clarifying that she is willing to consider violent means to stop a legal, democratic party that continues to rise in all polls.

Asked whether she was referring to resisting “against the will of the voters,” Nietzard did not hesitate: “Against fascism.” With this ambiguous formula, the Green leader seems to justify violence if the electoral results do not align with her ideological convictions. In Nietzard’s view, the Left must ask whether it is willing to “sit in a place where defending a parliament at the end matters.”

Her words dangerously recall the decades of political terrorism in Germany, such as the case of the Red Army Faction, but this time from within structures close to power and protected by the system. It is no longer about canceling, defaming, or censoring AfD: it is now openly about confronting them by force if they win.

This is not the first time Nietzard has been involved in controversy. Just two months ago, she caused an uproar on social media by posing in a sweater with the acronym

Gentlemen,
day by day, this prospect looks more and more realistic. I am truly sorry to say this 🙁

Handicapped, though I am, I will still put up a fight against the Commie Bolshewokes and their vile ilk, however. And I won’t be alone😡

“Hmmm. Maybe these Stasi thugs who terrorized us for decades won’t be a threat after reunification. Let’s just release these feral animals to roam free and see what happens.” probably wasn’t the best policy decision.

I agree, but to me it seems that sending them to prison would have done the trick just fine.

The degeneration of the political class in Germany had begun in the sixties, accelerated with the advent of the Greens in the late seventies - and reached a pinnacle after the fall of the Wall, when a whole sea of ex-East German political animals was unfrozen.

And it went downhill from there. What we have now is at least as bad as the Obama and Biden administrations.

If the Stasi thugs were sent to prison, they could still organize and would eventually be released. They needed complete extermination.
