Björn Höcke being an elected member of the German state, however weak in actual power is not great to say the least. He’s about as literal Nazi as it gets in mainstream German politics.

      Yes, but we are speaking about a party witch is watched by the Verfassungsschutz. The AFD is at a point, where the german bourgeois states admits, that it is a far right party and has to be watched. Let’s wait and see, if the CDU makes a coalition with AFD. I have a feeling, that they will.

        Well, and what about the white Germans who SA women? Those don’t count? Even if you saw 100 stories of a brown person SAing a woman, that’s still less than 1% of all brown people in Germany.

            I had the impression, that all those political parties literally waited that something like Solingen happened. Like a trigger was pulled and now they all were pushing all possible things against people seeking shelter in Germany. Ah, don’t forget that this is again an excuse to advocate for more surveillance on the Internet by all means.

        While the AFD is certainly a far-right party, I wouldn’t consider the German bourgeois state an authority on the subject (unless we were talking about their own crimes). Germany doesn’t need the AFD to be a far-right, fascistic hellhole, the bourgeois state is already eagerly doing it themselves, backing and aiding in industrial genocide in Palestine, and once again pursuing lebensraum (through NATO expansion) in eastern Europe.

        For most causes (not the AFD) being watched by the modern gestapo should be a badge of honor. Seeing how they have treated countless anti-genocide activists and journalists, they have less than no standing to go on.

          That’s not what I said. There es difference between denying and admitting. While the german bourgeois state admits it, they are freely supporting this party. SPD, GRÜNE, CDU/CSU are totally fine executing things, which the AFD always wanted and wants. Letting this party be, consider coalitions etc. while officially saying it is a far right party, has its own quality.

          Germany doesn’t need the AFD to be a far-right, fascistic hellhole, the bourgeois state is already eagerly doing it themselves, backing and aiding in industrial genocide in Palestine, and once again pursuing lebensraum (through NATO expansion) in eastern Europe.

          Yes, they don’t need the AFD. But still I see a difference between “We are liberal democrats, fascism bad on the paper, there is no genocide in Palestine” and “We are liberal democrats, AFD is far right and has fascist tendencies (That’s how the official view is), but we are fine with it, support it and will eventually make a coalition with them, also no genocide in Palestine”.

          For most causes (not the AFD) being watched by the modern gestapo should be a badge of honor.

          While I somehow understand what you mean, I think it is dangerous to be watched. Looking at their which conditions you have to met to be watched, its ridiculous but also says a lot. I would be alarmed, I mean, they have many means to even silence you or forbid you organisation - Which nothing at all matters for the AFD.
