Branko Milanović je izrazil začudenje, kako so se nemški Zeleni lahko tako drastično transformirali v pro-vojno in evropsko-supremačistično stranko:
The German Greens transformation is one of the most extraordinary. From being pro-Third World, they are now against it (European supremacism is their mot d’ordre). From saluting successes of poorer countries, they are now attacking them ferociously (China & India).
Arnaud Betrand pojasnjuje ta fenomen z razlago Jürgena Kurza, enega izmed ustanoviteljev stranke:
Anyone interested in the German Greens and their transformation into one of the most extreme pro-war and Western-supremacist parties in Europe should read this article by Jürgen Kurz, one of the historical founders of the party.
Kurz has been living in China for now 20 years and he is married to a woman from Xinjiang (!). The article is a criticism of the Green party’s approach to China but from it you can extrapolate and explain the party’s general ideology.
First of all, as Kurz explains, the top people making up the party are stunningly inexperienced and incompetent. As he explains in the piece, Annalena Baerbock, the Green Foreign Minister, went to China for the first time in her life (!!!) in 2023, 2 years into her mandate. How do you even become Foreign Minister if you’ve never travelled to China, probably Germany’s most consequential relationship? As such she has zero knowledge of the country, or more precisely, as Kurz writes, her knowledge is “based on reports from a handful of journalists who have searched for stories there that correspond to Western biases on distant China. The problem is that the image we in the West have about China borders on denial of reality!”
Secondly, they are supremacists to their core. Kurz beautifully describes the hypocrisy behind Baerbock’s “feminist foreign policy”:
