If you’ve ever called for a new political order, economy, or narrative, I have one question:
Where is that new system going to come from?
This week I was at 2 events where speakers again called for a long-term project. No one seemed to disagree.
But where is the plan to make it happen?

Mehr Sozialstaat und eine "antifaschistische Wirtschaftspolitik" werden häufig als Mittel gegen den AfD-Erfolg genannt. Doch was ist dran an der These & welche Sozialpolitik wünschen sich die AfD-Wähler tatsächlich? Eine Datenanalyse von @schieritz.bsky.social und mir.

Sozialpolitik: Wer wenig hat, ist in ihren Augen selbst schuld
Mehr Sozialstaat könnte den Aufstieg der Rechtspopulisten bremsen, heißt es oft. Umfragen zeigen aber: Die Wähler der AfD verstehen unter Gerechtigkeit etwas anderes.

Really tough issue. One thing is to tackle things that people (quite often wrongly) blame on migrants, eg lack of GP appointments or housing shortages. Fairness matters a lot - if people can see or can be persuaded that they & others are being treated equally, that should help.

There’s a lot riding on a new, non-neoliberal paradigm. Hundreds of academics and campaigners have called for one, to help drive mass systemic change as well as coordinating progressive efforts. /1
