The problems were there before the new wave of migrants came, such as the growing rich-poor disparity. The far right simply instrumentalises this to their advantage. I'm sure the super rich are happy not to be the scapegoats and are willing to open their wallets to avoid that from happening.
the AfD and CDU heavily favor neoliberal politics, worsening the social issues. The AfD now pretends to take care of poor people but they were fiercly against a minimum wage until they realised this might be too much for their voters.
National socialism was always meant to redirect the anger and frustration of the working class to a scapegoat minority, instead of the business owners and former nobility that funded the party.
