Hitler did the same. They just „talked“ in the beer halls back then. This ideology needs to be banned from holding german office ever again. Even the idea to deport people based on their heritage (not their immigration status) needs to disqualify from holding public office. Actually, using heritage, blood, genes or anything to distinguish between people that can be used this way needs to be outlawed immediately.

Also, the cdu has reighned over this country for decades and although I‘m not a fan, making them the same as the fascist party (afd) is very counterproductive.

Every party needs to reflect on this and try to reach their members who are in danger of becoming fascists and educate them and definitely need to make rules that fascist ideology can never be part of any party or the government.

As they say „never again, is now.“

Also, it's worth pointing out that some other parties may have potential of embracing fascism, but if their current stance on right extremism is a negative one and their policies and rhetoric aren't even verging on the extremes, they probably should just be corrected for the obvious bad things and not labeled as "right extremists". Even though some of the candidates could be called such based on things they've said.

I agree. Labeling everyone as fascist or right wing nut job or whatever is only going to help the real extremists hide.

The idea of taking care of home is not extreme. Distinction comes through education. If someone knows their history they can tell you what to look for. It starts with jokes, goes on to „I‘m just saying they‘re not nice people“ to „I wish they would leave“ to „lets make them leave“ and so on.

Thats why I leave if someone on the dinner table just „needs to say this“. No you dont.
