Andreas Kemper (born April 11, 1963) is a German sociologist and author. He is an author about Classism and an analyst on anti-democratic tendencies in Germany, including those of the AfD.
He was born into a working-class family and started to study philosophy, sociology and pedagogy first at the University of Münster, then the Free University of Berlin and completed his Master's degree at the University of Münster. His research interest is classism and he has published the first introduction to Classism in Germany.
Kemper conducted critical analyzes of classism and neoliberalism (klasseismus.de), racial biology and organized anti-feminism (diskursatlas.de). He sees these developments as the basis for the emergence of the "Alternative for Germany" and published the book “Right Euro-Rebellion” in July 2013 in which he identifies the AfD as a reservoir for these currents. His book was by far the first critical book publication on the AfD. Kemper not only warned against the emergence of a right-wing party, but was also the first to accurately determine the start-up financing from the Finck Group. [1] [2]
