I saw in the news that German Chancellor and SPD (Social Democratic Party) Chairman Scholz dismissed Finance Minister and FDP (Free Democratic Party) Chairman Lindner. Subsequently, the FDP withdrew all its members from the government, putting Scholz’s government in jeopardy. Originally, it was a three-party coalition (SPD, FDP, Green Party), but now Germany is heading for early elections. Seeing the fascist party’s support rate being quite high, could this superficial bourgeois internal conflict be a tactic to help the fascist party come to power earlier?

“Electing Hindenburg is like electing Hitler, and electing Hitler is supporting war.” Countries in Europe and America that implement bourgeois-style democracy are now疯狂倒向法西斯。 Germany is like this, and the far-right parties in France are also very strong, in fact Macron is also secretly supporting the right-wing ruling coalition. The US presidential election just ended, and Trump’s three consecutive wins are even more about consolidating power onto himself.
The situation in the UK is the same. The far-right forces within the Conservative Party have already come to power. The party leader, Badenoch, openly opposes reducing police funding, defends colonialism, supports large-scale deportation of immigrants, and praises the fascist Israeli massacre in Gaza, which demonstrates a moral clarity in dealing with “Western enemies.” Meanwhile, the openly far-right Reform Party in the UK gained 14.3% support in the last election. If you add the 23.7% support for the Conservative Party, that totals 38%, surpassing the current ruling Labour Party. The fascists in the UK are not far from taking power. Now, many imperialist countries are turning towards fascism because the crisis of overproduction has reached an unprecedented level, and the world is in a state of special depression. To strengthen internal exploitation and compete for colonies externally, imperialist countries must inevitably brutalize their own people and engage in reckless external aggression. The decline of so-called leftist parties is actually because the bourgeoisie, even to extract surplus value from the worker aristocracy, is reducing it, and it is difficult to deceive workers with false wage increases anymore. Workers have naturally seen through these lapdogs—they are unlikely to change their oppressed situation, let alone achieve minor reforms. The recent Boeing strike and the current Volkswagen strike are examples of this. In fact, real wages have not increased at all.

Now the fascists in the United States have taken power as planned, along with the old social imperialist fascist country China and the Russian Pushtar, Europe has also changed, and it can be said that the major imperialist countries are all similar. It is worth mentioning that Trump, this fascist leader, was ridiculed by pinks four years ago and is now being praised by pinks, claiming he cares for the American people. It seems that all the fascist policies he implemented domestically during his tenure are completely wiped out. The trade war, which squeezed the American people to death, can be spun as “the most moderate war.” Not to mention the anti-abortion laws still in place. Claiming that the American people support him is also nonsense; the American people are already preparing protests and marches for when he takes office next year. It is estimated that after these European fascists come to power, they will face the same treatment.
Are there any related news links? How many officials does the Liberal Democratic Party have in the German government?

It should be four ministers, but one of them directly resigned from the party.
The current polling situation for German political parties is as follows:
SPD 16%, Union (CDU/CSU) 33%, Green Party 12%, Free Democratic Party 3%, AfD 18%, Left Party 4%, “Saar Wangenknecht Alliance” (BSW) 6%, and other parties total 8%.
The Union and AfD are now the first and second largest parties. One is right-wing, the other is far-right. In fact, the Union is essentially the electoral alliance with the AfD. Although the Union claims it will not cooperate with the AfD, its platform includes restricting immigration to below 200,000, promoting Christian values, and implementing what is called laissez-faire economics. All of this falls within the framework of the AfD. Additionally, the Union tends to favor traditional energy industries and the bourgeoisie, which is also the stance of the AfD. Moreover, even from a legal perspective in Germany, this is the case. Together, the two parties hold 51% of the vote, enough to form a government. If the Union does not form a government with the AfD, it can only form a coalition with the SPD and other parties, but the SPD represents different monopoly groups, making such a coalition less likely. Therefore, a merger between the AfD and the Union is almost inevitable, similar to the merger of the British Conservative Party with the Reform Party, or Macron’s group with the National Rally in France. The only reason they currently appear to oppose each other is the ongoing struggle of the German working people. After the AfD revealed plans to “expel” (which in the future would mean slaughter, with significant repression during deportation, and even if it is just mass deportation, those deported would have no future, inevitably leading to famine) millions of immigrants, over a million Germans protested and demanded its ban. However, the German working class currently lacks a strong revolutionary party to lead them, and may even be unaware of the fact that these bourgeoisie are inevitably pushing fascism onto the stage, making it very difficult to ultimately prevent their rise.

Are there any examples of this?

You can take a look at this article, which outlines the energy preferences of various parties. The Green Party and the Social Democratic Party are basically aligned, calling for the promotion of renewable electricity.
I feel that the current Choice Party cannot come to power. This may be due to conflicts between the bourgeois groups represented by the Social Democratic Party and the Liberal Democratic Party. The Social Democratic Party still advocates for deficit fiscal policies, but the Liberal Democratic Party demands debt control, leading to conflicts and this situation. Currently, the highest support is for the Christian Democratic Union, and they are also refusing to form a coalition government with the Choice Party because the latter has a very bad reputation.
The Liberal Democratic Party’s demand to reduce debt is aimed at protecting the interests of which faction of the bourgeoisie? It feels like the old monopolistic capital of traditional fuel vehicles, which do not support adopting new energy sources and continue to subsidize fossil fuels.
And now the bourgeoisie also has no need to bring the genuine fascist parties to power. Currently, there are no revolutionary parties at all, and the intensity of class struggle has not reached a level where the bourgeoisie needs to support fascist agents to suppress the workers’ movement. These far-right parties at most call for deporting immigrants or tax cuts for big capitalists, and not a single one openly advocates war slogans, and many even oppose aid to Ukraine (except for Meloni in Italy).

You’re right, these far-right groups are called fxs by the ruling bourgeois parties because these bourgeois parties want to use fear to conduct internal struggles within the far-right ruling class. Calling these opposition parties, which don’t even have openly declared war slogans, fxs (although the far-right is also not good), shows that under the capitalist economic crisis, the vested interests are already extremely fearful.

Hello, this is the first time I see you, but I think your name might be a bit too abstract, giving a feeling of treating Marxism as a religion.

First, human supremacy is not considered a reactionary thought within the proletariat because human production and life are about conquering nature. I believe supporting proletarian human supremacy is supporting the working people’s transformation and conquest of nature, and the development of human civilization.
Second, under the rule of the bourgeoisie, technology is used to attack the proletariat, from the atomic bombs in imperialist wars to AI-generated art used by monopolist capitalists to exploit lower-class artists. Coupled with the various theologies promoted by the ruling class, I believe the status of the proletariat as human beings is under serious threat, so human supremacy becomes even more important.

Are you implying that in capitalist society, the proletariat biologically does not belong to humanity?
Unfortunately, there is no super-class of “human” as you described.
For capitalists, the proletariat is not human
First, I have been emphasizing that the concept of “humanity” is within the proletariat category.
Second, are street performers, those who draw and sing on the streets, not proletarians? Do workers and peasants who enjoy art not belong to the proletariat?
