Not to give the AfD (German right wing 'tea party') any benefits, but the necessary discussion of social allocation of income and such is one that is buried under crap news in Germany as a long standing tradition.

Your analysis is on the point, but I believe that the AfD is more of a symptom and not much of a cause.

Precisely. Most Germans still remember how the socialist GDR failed, and seem to infer from this that anything that is not neoliberalism is bound to fail (or, alternatively, a pipedream of some delusional leftist students that's not worth trying).
