History

The party was founded in 1981 by two 17-year-olds with the nicknames Zewa (a leading handkerchief brand) and Kotze (vomit). In the following years it was joined by many punks and organized many demonstrations, which were sometimes ended by the police, often leading to arrests. The party was dissolved in 1986, but was recreated in 1994 and soon chose to participate in elections. In the 1997 Hamburg city elections the APPD received a stunning 5.3% of the votes in St. Pauli and thus became the fourth-strongest party in that district. In 1998 the APPD ran in the Bundestag election with Karl Nagel as its candidate for the chancellorship, and using slogans like "Labour is shit" ("Arbeit ist Scheiße") and "Drinking, drinking, just drinking every day" ("Saufen! Saufen! Jeden Tag nur saufen"). The APPD failed, however, to gain the 0.5% of the votes needed to pay to the voters in the form of a promised large party with free beer. With approximately 35,000, or 0.1%, of the votes, the APPD outperformed Lyndon LaRouche's "BüSo" and also the German Communist Party DKP. Finally the party was dissolved in 1999. In December 2000 the APPD was reestablished in Munich, but did not participate in the Bundestag election of 2002. A sufficient number of signatures were collected for participation in the European election 2004, however these did not arrive because the German Postal Service declined to forward them to party chairman Christoph Grossmann. In the following year, the APPD took place in the Bundestag election of 2005 with little success. As a result, the party split into two parties in 2006 - the APPD and the Pogo-Partei. Both parties plan to run in the next elections for the Bundestag and European Parliament in 2009.

Theory of Pogo Anarchism

Pogo-Anarchismus (Pogo-anarchism) is often falsely confused with the standard anarchism, but there are more differences than commonalities. The concept of Balkanisation is introduced to split up the country into different parts: Anarchist redirects here. ...

• "Asoziale Parasiten-Zonen" (APZ, asocial parasite zone) for pogo-anarchists and other asocials, who prefer not to work and rather drink beer.
• "Sichere Beschäftigungs-Zonen" (SBZ, safe occupation zone) for strait-laced workaholics who will finance the good life of the people in the APZ. This is a pun, since the SBZ in West German use (used till late into the Brandt era by the conservative press) meant the Sowjetisch besetzte Zone (Soviet Occupied Zone) or Sowjetische Besatzungszone (Soviet Occupation Zone), the predecessor of the GDR.
• "Gewalt-Erlebnis-Parks" (GEP, violence experience parks) for incurable violent offenders and Nazis with special areas set aside as ethnic theme parks for cultural minorities (such as lederhosen-wearing Bavarians), to avoid too close contact between these pogo races lest the pursuit of what each considers necessary for happiness suffers. These parks will be surrounded by very high walls and are located in former East Germany.

The APPD was the first German party to propagate the idea of guaranteed minimum income, with its idea of a "youth pension", long before this concept entered the realm of mainstream political discussion. Willy Brandt, born Herbert Ernst Karl Frahm (December 18, 1913 - October 8, 1992), was a German politician, Chancellor of West Germany 1969 – 1974, and leader of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) 1964 – 1987. ...
