German AfD draws libertarian and left‑wing YouTube criticism

Libertarian commentator Markus Krall told a UtopiaTV interview at the Afuera Festival that the Alternative for Germany (AfD) has become the strongest libertarian current within the party. He urged the AfD to become "more libertarian" over the next two to three years, describing the state as a wolf that must be re‑trained to serve citizens and calling for harsh punishment of officials.

On the left, YouTuber Markus Brandmair (channel "Bissen BlaBla") posted a satirical video titled "How to behave under an AfD dictatorship?". In the video, Brandmair imagines a scenario where the AfD forms a federal government, outlining a series of tongue‑in‑cheek behavior tips and concluding that voting is the only effective response.

Both pieces reflect heightened political commentary surrounding the AfD’s rising poll numbers and the concerns of both radical libertarians and left‑wing media personalities in Germany.
