European Political Parties EXPLAINED

Multi-party systems are confusing, so here's a quick guide to the main political parties in European politics. For Americans it can be especially challenging to understand European politics, as they're so used to the Democrats and Republicans dominating the scene. Hopefully this explains the basics well enough, so you can get started on your deep dive into whatever political topic you want to r...

    East germans are a prime example how things like this is often not just some form of Racism, they aren't underrepresented because they are black or muslim, they are just underrepresented because they came late to the party and everything was already established without them. Also, the bavarian exceptionalist imo is just sad. Bavaria was poor, to a point where it was one of if not the worst place to live in west germany, so places like North Rhine Westfalia (the state that is poor now because all of the industry has been closed down) was sending Bavaria tons of money to build up their wealth, and the second the Bavarians got wealthy they acted like they did it all by themselves and have no obligation to help other german states. 28:33 Whelp this is out of date a few weeks later

    To the topic of "haven't we heard enough" I see the point, to an extend. I remember back then in school we had a full year of History class with just Holocaust and Hitler, not even the war really. After a while, the shock factor was just gone and people didn't care anymore. Sounds crazy but it's the sad truth. You should do what's nessecary to keep Germans from taking part in such actions again, but that shouldn't mean we can't just accept some times that we are currently far away from that

    As a German I think the migrational background does not matter when it comes to politics here because we don't really do identity politics. Luckily we differentiate between political opinion and identity. Most people don't identify with a particular party but will vote for different parties and candidates throughout their lives. We also don't really care about the private lives of politicians as long as they don't do anything criminal. A German politician says "this is what my opinion is and this is what I think is right" and barely ever (unlike in other countries) follows that up with a "because I am *insert age, religion, ethnic group, gender, etc.*". It's not something we do here and let's hope we won't start doing that because judging by other countries that does not seem to lead to any fruitful discussions ever 😅

    • @LucasBenderChannel

      That's something I appreciate quite a lot as well. 👍 There's certainly a lot of value in hearing affected groups on issues that matter most to them - women on women's emancipation, health care personell on the health care system they work in, recent immigrants on the immigration process, etc - but as you said, *overdoing* this kind of group mentality and categorization can lead to less fruitful discussion. I hope we keep finding a healthy middle ground between hearing important voices and having an inclusive discussion, where everyone is welcome to chime in.

    About “conspiracy theorists” and “Reichsbürgers” to be exact. We have those in Russia too, however they are thinking that USSR still exists on paper due to disbelief in some paperwork from 1991 when the dissolution happened. They have their own communities, have huge beef with police, showing them Soviet passports, arguing about the existence of USSR and blah blah blah. (By the way those communities mentioned before they actually sell certificates which say that you are officially have Soviet citizenship, while in really it’s worth nothing)

    32:56 the wahl-o-mat is also an expression of German gesture for structure and order. I fully agree that this is indeed a great distraction from real politics because the tool just looks up the answers to a set of questions in the election programs and in reality you can write there whatever you wish without any consequences because we never have a one-partie-government and not complying to your plans can therefore always be excused by compromise within a coalition government.

    I would say party soldier was represented wrong. Party Members are people of a certain party, who are highly politicised and have a strong preference. Party soldiers are similar, but will defent their party to the last second and in every single topic. They don't realy criticise their party ever. Their mostly in bigger party's (CDU, SPD, Greens, FDP) I would say. Party Members are different in the way that they in general don't support their t party in every situation and can criticise it. The Left (the party) often fights with itself and Members of that party often criticise their leadership. Some even vote for different partys, because they feal betrayed by their party or because another party is doing the thing they want better

      Yes. Aiwanger's party will remain the CSU's preferred coalition partner for the forseeable future. Although the CSU might just manage to clinch another absolute majority again. In that case they wouln't even need a partner in government.

      Mag sein, dass die Leute in deinem Umfeld eher gegen den etablierten Konservatismus der Älteren stehen. Aber Bayern ist groß. Es gibt viele verschiedene Regionen und tatsächlich gibt es vor allem in den ländlichen Teilen unseres Landes auch stark konservative Teile der jungen Generation. Mitte-Rechts Parteien wie CSU und die Freien Wähler und sogar Rechts-Außen Parteien wie die AfD sind nicht nur bei den Älteren beliebt, sondern erfahren auch großen Zuspruch bei jungen Bayerinnen und Bayern. Das Bild ist viel durchmischter als es viele ausmachen wollen.

I am pretty sure it's a similar story for other parties when regarding more local politics.

    the GDRs economy did not "crash and fail", it was stripped and dismantled entirely. it wasn't even in any kind of debt that would cause any serious issues, the west german economy is in a worse shape right now than the GDR has ever been. you're really not educated on that topic and are just throwing around myths you picked up without investigating them.

    • @LucasBenderChannel
      @LucasBenderChannel 5 дней назад

      The GDR was slipping into massive debt that was only compensated by Western loans, their products generally lacked in quality due to over-regulation, they were only ever competitive in the Eastern block but not globally, many subsidised parts of their economy would not have survived without state efforts and throughout its existence, Easterners were troubled by supply gaps, especially noticeable to the average guy in form of shortages in groceries and homewares. Saying the German economy now is anywhere near to the GDR's mismanaged life on credit is preposterous.

      Since we're talking about it, I was actually bothered by the entire extremist section. I even thought about removing it completely, because it is such a downer and really drags down the flow of the video. But I was committed to the 35 tribes being 35, so I had to leave at least part of it in. Ultimately I cut it down to just the Neonazi part, because it's so uniquely German or at least an interesting angle to outsiders. Idk if that was the best solution. I might have to make another video that's more in-depth about violent extremism in Germany some day.
