Everything Going To Plan For The German Oligarchy

Fascism is What Happens When Liberal "Democracy" Fails the Oligarchy

As I have written before, the German Nazi party was both supported and actively aided by sections of the German oligarchy (a coalition of the bourgeoisie and the Junker large land owners created by Bismarck) during its early years to be maintained as a possible alternative to social democracy. With the 1929 Great Depression and the resultant threat to ruling class legitimacy, much greater support was given to the Nazi Party. When that failed to get the Nazi Party elected in the second election of 1932, when the Nazi Party vote actually fell (from 37.3% to 33.1%), the oligarchy quickly installed Hitler as Chancellor. The Industrielleneingabe, signed by 22 major representatives of the German oligarchy, was sent to President Hindenburg requesting the appointment of Hitler; as Hindenburg was himself a member of the oligarchy he obeyed his instructions. Hitler was appointed Chancellor on January 30th, 1933, he was never elected to that position.

The Nazis then carried out a false flag arson attack on the Reichstag that February (which facilitated the exclusion of the Communist Party from the Reichstag), together with widespread voter intimidation, to gain a vote of 43.9% in the March 1933 election. The Centre Party and Conservatives then voted with the Nazis for the Enabling Act of March 23rd that provided Hitler with dictatorial powers. The oligarchy had effectively used the window of time available to install what they considered to be their dictator. Between June 30th and July 2nd 1934, Hitler confirmed his service to the oligarchy by destroying the much more working class and revolutionary SA in what became known as the Night of the Long Knives. The oligarchy then made huge profits until the end of WW2, after which most managed to stay out of prison and hide and maintain much of their wealth (the basis of the post-war German “Miracle” Years).

As I have written elsewhere, the AfD is a creature of the German oligarchy, founded by five neoliberal extremist professors and funded by a representative of the oligarchy residing in Switzerland; whose grandfather was a banker during the Nazi years who worked closely with Hitler. Its populism is as fake as the Nazi populism, and it jumped on the anti-immigrant bandwagon to help it rise in the polls. Just like the Nazi Party before, the AfD is a fascist option funded by the German oligarchy as a possible fall-back if the performative bourgeois “democracy” fails them.

With the recent 2025 elections the AfD gained a record 20.8% of the popular vote, while the CDU/CSU (neoliberal conservatives) gained 28.5%, the SPD (neoliberal bourgeois progressive) 16.4%, the Green Party (neoliberal bourgeois progressive war monger environmental) 11.6%, and Die Linke (bourgeois progressive fake left) 8.8%. The CDU/CSU and SPD then formed a ruling coalition. Then a strange thing happened, the CDU/CSU leader Merz (previously a corporate lawyer and chairman of Blackrock Germany, made rich as an oligarch courtier) threw away his avowed fiscal conservatism and in a deal with the SPD and Green Party utilized the short period before the new Bundestag was convened to push through a constitutional change that allowed for massive new war and infrastructure spending. The AfD and Die Linke could have stopped this by forcing the immediate convening of the newly elected Bundestag but they did not; showing their connivance in this oligarch move which was in direct opposition to the will of the electorate.

Why did Merz do this? He is mirroring the actions of Hitler who initiated massive war and infrastructure spending to reinvigorate the profits of German capital. The country’s leading industries of car manufacturing, heavy industry, machine tools and petrochemicals have been beset by the high energy prices stemming from the anti-Russian sanctions and Nordstream destruction, the loss of Russian markets, intensifying Chinese competition, and now Trump’s 20% EU tariff and 25% tariff on imported cars. The war spending budget increases, and what amounts to a massive corporate “infrastructure” slush fund, will provide many new avenues of profiteering for the German bourgeoisie. From ploughshares to weapons, or as already raised by VW, from cars to weapons. The ruling coalition has already made it clear that this will not be paid for by any new taxes on the rich, but rather by increased debt and austerity for the rest. Showing the increasing rentier and exploitive nature of the German oligarchy.

This Merz driven about face is of course electoral poison for the parties involved (CDU/CSU, SPD and Green Party) but they are dutifully following the wishes of the German oligarchy. After four years of such policies these parties may be completely delegitimized and the German voters driven to look for an alternative. This is where the shenanigans utilized to keep the real left-wing party, the BSW, out of the Bundestag were important as removing a left wing alternative from any prominence and parliamentary presence. Very strangely, the fake left Die Linke enjoyed a major electoral resurgence in the last days of the election. So, the only real “alternative” that the German oligarchy want to be available for the German electorate is the AfD. Ready to implement much greater levels of authoritarianism as austerity for the masses is fully driven home.

But the AfD are against the war on Russia, are they not? Well, four years from now after huge amounts have been spent rebuilding and rearming the German Army, the militarization of the country will be a de facto reality; and the Russo-Ukrainian War will either be over or escalated into something else. If elected in 2029, the AfD can just hold up its hands and say “what can we do?”

Just as with the Nazi Party of the early 1930s, the AfD is split between the neoliberal oligarch serving wing (lead by co-leader Weidel) and the more populist wing (lead by co-leader Tino Chrupalla). In the 2025 election, it was Weidel who was put forward as prospective Chancellor; the same can be expected in 2029. Weidel has worked hard to keep her Sri-Lankan born wife and their two adopted children hidden away from scrutiny in Switzerland, and also her Hitler-appointed Nazi judge grandfather. In a discussion with Elon Musk she agreed that Germany needs to get over its “Nazi Guilt” and also preposterously stated that Hitler was a communist; something she obviously knows not to be true given her extensive political education.

The polls are already moving against the CDU/CSU which recently polled only 24%, with the main beneficiaries being the AfD which has drawn level with the CDU/CSU at 24%, and the fake left Die Linke at 11%. And the BSW gained nothing and stayed below the 5% vote share margin required to get seats in the Bundestag. If everything continues to plan, the 2029 elections will result in a coalition between the diminished CDU/CSU (after doing the oligarch’s dirty work) and a surging AfD with the oligarch-tool Weidel becoming chancellor. If needed, perhaps the neoliberal FDP could be nudged above the 5% electoral level to help bring in Chancellor Weidel. All ready, just as Hitler did, to crush dissent and continue with the intensified austerity for the rest while the oligarchs enrich themselves at the state trough.

The AfD co-chair Chrupalla is a problem for the oligarchs not just because he might get in the way of Weidel’s elevation. He is not a warmonger and favours friendly relations with both Russia and China, while recently changing his stance on Israel to one of opposition to the Zionist genocide and rejecting “blanket Islamophobia”. He comes from an East German working class background rather than from Weidel’s elitist one. The oligarch-controlled German media has worked, and is working, very hard to give prominence to Weidel and give much less coverage to Chrupalla.

The end result of the German oligarchy’s plan will be to significantly weaken Germany as a nation, while they maintain their wealth through profiteering off government largesse and rentier activities; a hollowed out Germany. Just like a UK which may very well be handed over to the oligarch-tool Farage and the fake populist Reform UK at the next UK elections in 2029. For China, Russia and Iran this will be an acceptable outcome, as a major part of the US Empire moves to weaken itself just as it is being weakened by the US oligarchy. All good for the fall of the US Empire and a turn to a truly multi-polar world.
