That's too short a list of the "alternative" policies requested by the AfD. They are

- climate change deniers and reject any climate change containment policy

- reject any kind of "woke" policy, from accepting transgender to same-sex marriage

- their stance on immigration is not that it is just "out-of-control" (as immigration causes are always out-of-control), but that it destroys the German national identity, which they define by ethnicity (in the USA it would be called "race") - we call this "völkisch" and the last party in Germany having this property was the NSDAP

- they reject European unity and the EU and want to return to nationalism, again a policy last proposed and enforced by the NSDAP

- instead of Jews is it Muslims who cannot be part of the german people

- they are Russia-friendly and want to end the war in Ukraine in favour of Russia
