Anti-German (German: Antideutsch) is the generic name applied to a variety of theoretical and political tendencies within the left mainly in Germany and Austria. The Anti-Germans form one of the main camps within the broader Antifa movement, alongside the Anti-Zionist anti-imperialists, after the two currents split between the 1990s and the early 2000s as a result of their diverging views on Israel. The anti-Germans are a fringe movement within the German left: In 2006 Deutsche Welle estimated the number of anti-Germans to be between 500 and 3,000. The basic standpoint of the anti-Germans includes opposition to German nationalism, a critique of mainstream left anti-capitalist views, which are thought to be simplistic and structurally antisemitic, and a critique of antisemitism, which is considered to be deeply rooted in German cultural history. As a result of this analysis of antisemitism, support for Israel and opposition to Anti-Zionism is a primary unifying factor of the anti-German movement. The critical theory of Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer is often cited by anti-German theorists.

There's this chapo bit that most peoples ideologies are a confused mess of topics and that's basically what antideutsche are except all of their positions are leftist or "leftist" in the sense that you can kind of figure out how they got there with enough mixture of good beliefs and major brainworms
Yeah. The ingredients for the starting point are easy to come by, experience of violence, experience that a state doesn't ensure safety of marginalized groups, the ultima ratio of safety of Jewish people, which of course then means ensuring a Jewish state in lieu of a socialist one. Then with that state not being secure from external forces (Yom Kippur war, First Intifada) it means supporting the nations that support that state and critiquing those that aren't (or are even on the attack).
However quickly it became a very diverse field of thoughts and doesn't really consist of many people anymore, partially cause the Bahamas and such went into directions most Antideutsche wouldn't accept and a ton of fringe groups of which not only a few got reactionary. However AntiD after 2005 or today is very different from its emergency of 1989-1994.
