Anti-Semite parties

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As antisemitic you some called political parties in the German Empire (1871-1918) that the anti-Semitism had an essential element raised their program. They managed to capture a number of constituencies but remained politically insignificant overall. They were very interested in economic policy and were mostly elected by Protestants in rural areas.

Other parties have also taken anti-Semitic positions (such as the German Conservative Party from 1892); or appeared anti-Semitic after 1918. Other parties may have had anti-Semites in their ranks or shared individual views of the anti-Semite parties, but they are also not counted among the anti-Semite parties.

The individual anti-Semite parties were each successful in different regions and in some cases worked together in the Reichstag . From 1903 to 1918 there was the faction of the Economic Association there , which primarily united those members of the Reichstag, but also other members who were not affiliated to a party.

The following are counted among the anti-Semite parties:

Hannah Arendt wrote about the anti-Semite parties:

"What they wanted was not a revolutionary reorganization of society, but the destruction of the political structure by a party, not, or at least not exclusively, the elimination of the Jews, but the >> instrument of anti-Semitism << for the elimination of the state how he was embodied in the nation-state. "
