Thank you for sharing!

I am very happy that this article is part of a cutting-edge SI on the far right and eastern Germany - thanks to the guest editors @asheinze.bsky.social and @manesweisskircher.bsky.social for their comments and suggestions on earlier versions of this text!

Finally: the trend of seeming liberalization of some far-right parties that mobilize women's and gay rights ("femonationalism" and "homonationalism") does NOT play a role in AfD's official positioning - despite its female, lesbian leader

My subnational lens also shows: even though the levels of antifeminist attitudes are higher in the east (see e.g. Leipziger Autoritarismus Studie 2024), the politics of gender of eastern German AfD groups are not more extreme than the federal party

In other words: antifeminism has been there from the start - even when AfD fashioned itself as a "liberal", "anti-euro" party. Also, like in other areas AfD's politics of gender have radicalised since 2014 - especially with regard to reproductive rights and LGBTQ rights and visibility

And last but not least Luke Cooper's article: "Authoritarian protectionism and the post-neoliberal transition: learning from Stuart Hall’s method of articulation"
We hope you enjoy this collection!
