Clash of Authoritarian Forces
On Tuesday, 9th September 2025, Andreas Speit, an expert on right-wing extremism, journalist, and author, will be hosting a thought-provoking salon event at Kulturzentrum Faust, Zur Bettfedernfabrik 330451, Hannover.
The event, which starts at 7 PM, will see Speit delving into the historical roots and ideological sources of the rise in right-wing extremism, Reich citizens (Reichsbürger), and conspiracy theorists in Western societies. His book, "Authoritarian Rebellion", published by Ch. Links Verlag, explores this topic in depth.
Speit's analysis sheds light on the historical continuity of authoritarian and anti-democratic sentiments, linked to past political upheavals, and the rejection of democratic legitimacy. He also examines the Reich citizen movement, a counter-state ideology grounded in conspiracy theories about government illegitimacy, and the rise of conspiracy theorists and right-wing extremists as a response to a crisis of trust in official narratives and democratic institutions.
The event will be moderated by Nadine Conti, the Lower Saxony correspondent of the website, who has studied German, politics, and history. Conti's column, "The Right Edge", appears regularly on the website nord.
Admission to the event is only possible with a ticket booked in advance. Free admission is appreciated with a solidarity contribution to the website. A Helpdesk will be available from 5:30 PM to assist with any questions or problems related to the event's website app or ticket portal.
