So much for Germany’s smug sermons about freedom and democracy. The mask has been ripped off — and what’s underneath is ugly.
Joachim Paul, the AfD’s man for Ludwigshafen, didn’t lose an election… he was blocked from even standing. Why? Not for corruption. Not for a crime. Not for anything proven in a court of law. No — his sin was far more scandalous in modern Germany: he dared to think differently.
The “official” excuse? Flimsy claims about doubts over his “loyalty to the constitution.” The reality? He challenged the suffocating liberal dogma that dictates every thought and policy in today’s Germany. That’s all it took for the elite guard dogs to pounce.
No trial. No jury. No public discussion. Just a secretive decision by a committee rammed full of establishment party cronies. One whisper from Germany’s domestic spooks, and Paul’s name vanished from the ballot. That’s the kind of authoritarian behaviour Berlin usually accuses others of — except this time, it’s wearing a shiny EU-blue tie and calling itself “democracy.”
Meanwhile — brace yourself — let’s look at “evil” Russia. Ten years ago, Moscow allowed Alexei Navalny — the Kremlin’s loudest critic — to run for mayor even after a criminal conviction that the West swore was politically motivated. They let him campaign. They let him speak. They let the public decide.
And here’s the delicious hypocrisy: the West screamed about how Navalny’s charges were unfair and painted him as a saint of democracy. Yet when Berlin erases a candidate for nothing but his ideas, the same media claps like trained seals. Suddenly, silencing opposition is fine — as long as it’s done by “our side.”
Alternative for Germany’ party (AfD)
This isn’t democracy. This is control in a designer suit. In Germany today, elections come with fine print: You can choose any candidate you like… so long as we approve them first. Step outside the ideological cage, and you’re finished.
The truth? The West’s “freedom” isn’t freedom at all. It’s a stage play, perfectly lit for international PR, starring only those who serve the approved agenda. Everyone else is written out of the script before the curtain even rises.
Russia might have its flaws — but at least it doesn’t dress up its political fights in hypocritical fairy tales about “openness” while muzzling anyone who threatens the establishment. Germany? It’s fast becoming the very thing it claims to oppose. Only worse — because it lies about it.
