Germany: Intelligence agency says entire AfD 'extremist'

AfD are Nazis in all but name. How is it they remain unprosecuted in a nation where swastikas and the Hitler salute are outlawed?

What does it mean if a democracy bans a party that the voters want to elect? Better to ask what failure of the system made that party popular in the first place. We have a similar situation in the US fwiw.

Greece banned golden dawn as a criminal organisation and while a lot of members splintered into other parties it was overall a success in nearly removing all their influence as a political organisation from Greek politics - so, overall banning the fascist party, at least in one instance, worked.

Learn from history and America. No half measures. If you're going to label them extremists, you also have to break them.

"The ethnicity-and ancestry-based conception of the people that predominates within the party is not compatible with the free democratic order,"

Great news, but also ironic considering German uncritical support for Israel.

AFD should be banned... Threat to democracy tf

entire AfD 'extremist'

No shit, sherlock, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

YOU DON'T SAY

“The ethnicity-and ancestry-based conception of the people that predominates within the party is not compatible with the free democratic order,” the BfV said on Friday.

Pretty much the entirety of the German political mainstream is right now "unwaveringly supporting" a fascist regime commiting an extreme Genocide in Gaza, and that support has been very openly because of the ethnicity the murderers claim to represent, or in other words, due to "ethnicity-and ancestry-based conceptions".

Normalize race as an excuse to support no matter what those commiting the most atrocious of actions and all that it takes is to add "if it applies to them, then surely it applies to us" to that normalized racism to get something like the ideology of the AfD.

German politicians have long been plowing and fertilizing the field from which the AfD sprouted with great vigour.

This right now is just hypocrisy: the AfD is but the tip of the iceberg which is the view in Germany that the way people are treated should depend on their race and even the most horrible of deeds are excusable if one's race is the right one.

And what will Germany do about it? NOTHING!

Pray they find a valid legal reason to ban them soon now that they can mass spy on them :)

"But previous attempts at banning them have failed because such an official report was missing."

Man, this is peak modern society, and the absurdity makes me laugh. I don't mean that in a derisive way, more in a "wow, making democracy work is haaard ". Hopefully this will lead to something positive though, even if I'm anxious that banning a party like the AfD may lead to some things worsening.

Yet the neolibs are not good for the working class. We all got a long road ahead of us. Is everybody ready for conscription and ww3.

Do centralized social media while you're at it.

Keep in mind the agency is run by the Government for the Government of the day with people appointed by the Government.They are far from free of their own political agenda.
