Klaus Dörre warns cooperation with AfD is dangerous
Sociologist Klaus Dörre argues that the far-right AfD cannot be tamed and that any cooperation with the party leads to a dead end. He warns against growing calls from figures like Sahra Wagenknecht and former SPD politician Torsten Albig to end the 'firewall' (Brandmauer) against the AfD. Dörre advocates for more class struggle instead. The AfD is gaining ground in polls and local elections in eastern Germany, approaching 30% nationally.
