Ep 73: On the German Elections and the Antideutsch

In this episode of Sh-t Platypus Says, we focus on the German politics in the present and since the aftermath of the New Left. In the first half, Lisa discusses the recent German elections results with Jule, Daron, and Andreas. What does the victory of Friedrich Merz's center-right CDU mean for the Left? In the second half, Lisa sits down with Therri, Marius, and Jo to reflect on our German language Antideutsch panel, forthcoming in English translation in the Platypus Review. They discuss the history of the Antideutsch, the current of the Antideutsch and their influence in Germany, and further questions provoked by our panel. --- Ep 66: AfD & Sahra Wagenknecht in Germany, Anarchism on the West Coast: https://soundcloud.com/platypus-affiliated-society/ep-66 Was waren die Antideutschen?
