A Teacher, Historian, and Critical Mind

Jürgen Mannke is no stranger. As a former teacher and principal of the Goethe-Gymnasium in Weißenfels as well as a historian specializing in the dictatorships of the 20th century, he brings a well-founded perspective to the debate. His participation in the Leipzig Monday demonstrations in 1989 shows his courage to stand up against injustice—a courage that is also reflected in his book. Mannke impressively recounts how he was labeled a “Nazi” in 2015 for his critical remarks about uncontrolled migration, even though his father spent six years as a political prisoner in a concentration camp. This personal involvement makes his reading an emotional and authentic experience.

The Core of the Book: Abuse of a Term

In The Abused Antifascism, Mannke exposes how the term “antifascism” is instrumentalized in today’s political landscape to silence critics. He criticizes the consensus society in which dissenting opinions are quickly branded as “right-wing,” “racist,” or “Nazi.” Using examples such as the Wannsee Conference comparison controversy or the action against a retiree over the “idiot” meme by Robert Habeck, Mannke shows how language is weaponized to suppress dissent. He draws on historical comparisons, for example, the propaganda mechanisms of National Socialism, and references Noam Chomsky’s concept of the “consensus factory.”

Emotional Insights and Historical Depth

The reading is more than a dry analysis. Mannke vividly recounts his experiences, such as an excursion to Krakow, where he confronted the horrors of Auschwitz with students and found the behavior of self-proclaimed “antifascists” disrespectful. He quotes Viktor Klemperer, whose work LTI – Lingua Tertii Imperii illuminates the power of language under National Socialism, and draws parallels to today’s political rhetoric. Particularly striking is Mannke’s depiction of Nazi criminals like Odilo Globocnik being equated with today’s critics—a comparison he finds scandalous.

A Call to Reflect

Mannke’s reading is a wake-up call: He urges the audience to see through the mechanisms of propaganda and exclusion and to advocate for freedom of speech. His message is clear: democracy thrives on open discussion, not moralizing or defamation. Listeners are encouraged to engage with the question of why criticism of political developments is so quickly pushed into the “right-wing” corner and what this means for our society.

Why You Should Watch the Video

The video recording of the reading offers not only insights into Mannke’s book but also his charismatic way of linking historical facts with current observations. His stories are humorous, emotional, and provocative—a mix that inspires reflection. The atmosphere in the Weißenfels greenhouse, where the reading took place, is warm and welcoming, and Mannke’s interaction with the audience brings the event to life.
