“…Whilst official GDR ideology had offered an accessible identity to workers from politically aligned countries including Mozambique, Angola and Vietnam, deliberate SED prevention of foreigner cultural integration made later identification with German nationalism problematic. Following Stewart and Hoult's (1959) argument that limited exposure to other identities can prevent empathy for outsiders developing, creating an unsympathetic authoritarian personality, it is perhaps understandable that many East Germans struggled to adapt to a radically altered post-reunification demographic. SED seclusion of foreign workers, who were housed in city outskirts and restricted by five-year work contracts, intensified this effect, with migrants lacking opportunity or reason to assimilate or discover Eastern culture and society.…”

This paper seeks to understand the reasons for the German extreme-right's successes and failures, particularly examining the interrelations between political parties and underground movements. It also places a particular focus on German reunification, especially the wave of East German anti-immigrant and asylum seeker violence that emerged from 1991 to 1993. Furthermore, it argues that economic factors are not enough to understand this and other subsequent German extreme-right violence, and that structural factors, such as police and intelligence inadequacies, as well as psychological factors are vital. The first section explores why xenophobic and anti-Semitic sentiments remained high in Germany despite extensive denazification, and the reasons for extreme-right party failures to exploit this. The second section examines why this sentiment has often been violently expressed. The third section looks at the relations between violent underground groups and political parties, concluding that these connections have ultimately weakened the German far-right.

“…authoritarianism (Stewart and Hoult, 1979;Austin, Hale, and Ramsey, 1987;Balch, 1972;Genz and Lester, 1976;Niederhoffer, 1967); predispositional model (Bennett and Greenstein, 1975); reasons for choosing law enforcement (Meagher and Yentes, 1986); leadership (Bell, 1982b); and attitudes about rotating shifts (Sherman, 1975;Lester, 1986). It should be noted that these studies were predominantly oriented to post-hiring manifestations.…”
