\nDecker believes that a national identify based on limitless prosperity is fragile. If prosperity is threatened by economic problems, then people sometimes look to the old, unhealthy ideas as a mental safe haven. Among the people of western Germany who were questioned in Decker\u2019s study, 15.4 percent believe that \u201cthe Jews \u2013 more than other people \u2013 use underhanded tricks in order to get what they want.\u201d That figure is 2.2 percent higher than in eastern Germany. However, it is striking that in the prosperous south German states of Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemberg, anti-Semitism is especially widespread. Difficult economic conditions alone, therefore, are not enough to explain right-wing extremism.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nEr h\u00e4lt diese Identit\u00e4t f\u00fcr fragil. Denn ist der Wohlstand durch wirtschaftliche Probleme bedroht, dienen mitunter die unheilvollen alten Ideen als geistige Rettungsinsel. 15,4 Prozent der befragten Westdeutschen meinen, dass “die Juden mehr als andere Menschen mit \u00fcblen Tricks arbeiten, um zu erreichen, was sie wollen”, 2,2 Prozent mehr als im Osten. Auffallend: Besonders verbreitet ist der Antisemitismus in den wohlhabenden s\u00fcdlichen L\u00e4ndern Bayern und Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg. Wirtschaftliche Not reicht also als Erkl\u00e4rung f\u00fcr Rechtsextremismus nicht aus.<\/strong><\/p>\n
