About

democ. Zentrum Demokratischer Widerspruch advocates a society in which one can be different without fear. Today this means two things: emancipatory achievements must be preserved and defended against all anti-democrats who are fighting for influence not only in the parliaments. For this reason we observe and analyse how anti-democratic forces function, why they become stronger and how they can be countered.
