First impressions
There is nothing particularly special about the city of Chemnitz. One could hardly believe that this ended up being the site of a sudden explosion of anger after the murder of a Cuban-German man by Middle Eastern migrants. These were my first thoughts as I walked around the eastern Germany city. I was there to attend a march against migration and Islamization organized by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and PEGIDA.
I used some of my time to get to know the city. There was hardly any sign of Right-wing activity at first glance; no signs, stickers, graffiti, and so on. Perhaps this is a difference in style, but the amount of Left-wing propaganda that could be seen in this supposedly Right-leaning city shocked me. Was this because of current events, or is it that the Left has always been this active in Chemnitz?
One thing that annoyed me while I was there was the extent to which the far Left was able to operate openly. I even had the misfortune of running into the Marxist-Leninist party of Germany (MLPD) a couple of hours before the demonstration. Marxism-Leninism – the official ideology of the Soviet Union, one that killed millions of people through starvation and gulags – is tolerated in Germany, but not patriots tired of migrant criminality!
I was further irritated by some of the contents of a local bookshop, which offered many titles pertaining to Karl Marx, both serious and ironic in nature. I am not one who supports denying history or tearing down monuments. In fact, I think that the giant bust of Karl Marx in the center of Chemnitz looks cool! But the fact that there is no debate regarding Marx – only blind acceptance – shows how far away from any sense of moderation or understanding of history we are in the world today. This sentiment also goes for the buildings and streets named after Communists in the city, including Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg.
Regardless, I later learned that the outward appearance of this city had deceived me.
The march
The sight of all the people who showed up in Chemnitz was something to behold! This was my first time doing anything like this. I had never joined a protest or a political event before. I’ll admit I was curious about the type of people who were going to be marching next to me. Would they be the supposed neo-Nazis the media loves to show? Or just ordinary people? Once I made my way to the march, most of the others seemed like normal middle-class people. Others appeared to be working class. Then there were people who, I’ll be honest, were probably neo-Nazis. Regardless of who they were, it felt good to stand beside people who had similar beliefs. We were alike, we were together, and we were not afraid to show our faces.
The event was intended to be a silent march in commemoration of those victims who have been murdered by migrants in Germany. Everything went well, though the Antifa succeeded in stalling our peaceful march, despite the fact that it was obvious that the people who came out were not there to be violent.
Most people don’t need to be told that the media is a bunch of liars; still, it’s one thing to believe it, and another to see it with your own eyes. My experience of the march was completely peaceful up until the moment the Antifa managed to stop us from peacefully assembling. Once again, all of the violence and anger that ensued was entirely a consequence of the Left and their inability to tolerate any other opinion than their own. Even in anger, the demonstrators did not attack the police. Absolutely not. Many of the people, particularly the young men, let their anger and frustration be known, but no one – not police officers or anyone else – was assaulted, as far as I could see. The fact that these good people have been slandered by the media at home and abroad infuriates me!
Afterthoughts
I was extremely pleased to see so many different types of people in attendance. I even saw a couple of non-white marchers. There were older people there also, and what appeared to be teenagers. What this proves is that more and more people are now willing to show their faces without fear. They are tired of the way things are. Being intimidated into hiding your beliefs out of worries over social disapproval may be wearing off. The people are angry, and the elites know it.
Overall, this was a very good experience, and I’m glad I was able to make it. Taking part in the march and chanting alongside other people makes you feel more alive. It reminds you that you are not alone, and that things can indeed change if we work together. If you ever walk around a city – any city in the world – and feel alone, remember that there are many, many people who think like you do. They may not outwardly show it, but they are there, and they will not remain silent forever.

Australian (State) media presented the whole thing through a context of everyone there being “Neo-Nazis”.
The Telegraph (UK) described Chemnitz as “far-Right protests which saw foreigners hunted through the streets and neo-Nazis openly giving the Hitler salute last week”.
The state attorney of Saxonia, the police, many citizens and some press releases have confirmed that those “foreigner hunts” never happened, yet major parts of the media still cling to that hysterical narrative; there were just a few tense moments, attacks and fights between foreigners, hooligans and antifa. It’s actually a miracle that nothing more happened, the mood was very explosive during the first, spontaneous protest.
The asylum seekers in Chemnitz are not that many, but are known to be very violent and inclined to rape and sexual harrassment. Apparently, the town has been living in fear for months.
Stunningly, the vast majority of the protesters were indeed normies, while the media focused on a few white trash “Nazis” and tougher looking guys. There may also have been Antifa or Verfassungsschutz infiltrators who pulled a “Hitler salute” for the press. The victim was half-Cuban, and slightly race-mixed by the way. Two ethnic Germans from Russia were also severely stabbed that night.
The AfD protest described here was illegally blocked by Antifa, yet police did nothing about it and just canceled the event.
Yesterday, a free concert “against racism”, featuring lame aging leftist punk rock bands endorsed by the establishment, took place in Chemnitz. Thousands enthusiastically participated. At one point, the audience was asked to remain silent for minute to honor the guy who was killed as well as the “victims of right wing violence”. Yes, you read correctly…
Greets,
corporate media in Czech republic and Slovakia also report that everyone who attended is a ”Neo-Nazi”.
I’m in Chemnitz too. I’ve been here since August 22. I fully support the patriots and oppose the communists and I have expressed my opinion on various occasions, but I have not joined a march. Actually, I have been hanging out with an Iraqi that rents a room next to me. He is educated and knows my opinion and says he understands.
Regarding the Karl Marx monument, I believe it was erected after WW II under USSR occupation, as were many very big and well maintained monuments to the raping Red Army spread over eastern Germany and smaller monuments (many, just small gold plates inlayed into the street) to Jews that the lying Jews and allies maintained were made into bars of soap and lampshades for more than 40 years. These lies have been thoroughly debunked, but still live on. I would not mind seeing all of these statues erected under foreign occupation removed. I would keep a few that were erected for Jews, because they suffered like everyone else, but their monuments would be secondary to the monuments I would erect to the tens of millions of Germans that suffered and the brave German army that saved western Europe from being conquered by the Jewish Bolsheviks that dominated the USSR.
This is not a criticism of the author, but I don’t use the term “NAZI”, a term to demonize that was popularized, and probably created by Jews. It was used to dehumanize so the allies could boast with pride that they murdered 30,000 Germans in a city here or there and then shamelessly boast about it still today. Similarly, I don’t use the word “kike” or “nigger”.
