What happens when right-wing extremists govern? What does that mean for universities? And how do we move into a democratic counter-offensive?
Much of what political activist Arne Semsrott described in his bestseller "Seizure of Power" as a gloomy scenario of a right-conservative shift has already become bitter reality – and that without any AfD participation in government.
Under the CDU/SPD coalition, we are experiencing a harsh border regime, the degradation of financially disadvantaged people, attacks on democratic civil society, an end to climate protection, and a politics of fear.
In his new book, Arne Semsrott illustrates with numerous concrete examples how we can shift from defense to offense, including: strategic legal battles, solidarity care work, our own spaces, courageous strikes, and the building of collective power, civil society crisis assistance, the fight for a just administration instead of bureaucratic reductions for the wealthy, referendums, enthusiasm, and humor.
