Peter Sloterdijk, philosopher: “The people who deposit their anger in the AfD will lose money, lose hope and lose their illusions”

Philosopher Peter Sloterdijk has drawn parallels between the rise of the Nazi Party in 1930s Germany and that of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. He notes that the AfD's beginnings appear innocuous, much like the NSDAP's did. The NSDAP's rise to power was preceded by voter discontent with the Reichstag and criticism from the popular press. Sloterdijk made these comments at the Hay Festival in Segovia. The AfD recently made a significant showing in regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt.
