In some street interview with AfD politicians I saw one dude talking about “relocating Germany’s politics in an upcoming multipolar world” or smth like that. Why are the ultrareactionaries now also on this talking point? Should they not despise that view and talk about usual nationalist stuff like “My country first”? Can someone explain this? Their politics have become very unsusal lately ( i mean judging by their usual politics)
Reactionaries have been using “multipolarity” for quite some time, especially academics (AFD was formerly the academic party of Germany and most EU academics are in their position because there parents were elites or nazis themselves). Words are just words at the end of the day and what we are seeing now in academia and in politics in the recent years is a battle on who gets to “own” certain terms of virtue. We live in a time of virtue politics.
Also I do believe decolonial scholar mignolo has also argued for multipolarity and hes very sussy and suspected to be reactionary.
