@lazaroskaravasilis.bsky.social discusses the constructions of 'the elite' in the discourses of Die Linke and AfD in Germany. He reflects on how these constructions are informed by party ideology, and the degree to which populism plays a central role.

Ein paar kurze Einschätzungen und Empfehlungen meinerseits zum Umgang der EU mit der Türkei. Warum eigentlich nicht mal was Neues wagen? Z.B. das Ende des PKK-Kampfs gegen den türkischen Staat aufgreifen und die PKK von der EU-Terrorliste streichen?
