German far right wins first major election since World War II
www.politico.eu
The far-right Alternative for Germany party won the Thuringia state election, dealing a blow to the country’s coalition government.

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.

    While the AFD is certainly a far-right party, I wouldn’t consider the German bourgeois state an authority on the subject

    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.
