as much as i hate AfD and the far right, i think banning them will just put fuel on the fire and it gives them easy propaganda material, where they can pose as the victims here
it’s a really hard situation and banning feels like the bad move to me tbh
The problem is that they are being promoted and funded by our enemies. There is nothing democratic about the ways parties like the AfD are catching wind in the sails.
except it’s a bad analogy because you don’t get rid of the relatively big following of the far right this way, quite the opposite and it will just fuel them more and it annihilates this group from the democratic process, which leads to even harder radicalization
That’s not the major issue. The major issue is finance: the uber-rich aren’t taxed, keep evading them, and influencing politics to prevent the introduction of taxes on their wealth. The state thus lacks funds (and willingness) to educate their electorate.
The electorate could vote for parties that solve their issues, but instead they are voting for fascists. It’s not wrong to remove fascists from the options and if you’re seriously arguing that they should be an option, you’re part of the problem.
We should but centre right government, which tends to prevail over most of Europe is very good at only listening to the problems of business and ignoring the problems of the ordinary people.
Banning a political party leads to a loss of funding and they’re not allowed to get back together in the same or similar constellation. It would set them back for at least a decade and destroys all of the work they put into their Nazi projects. It absolutely helps and it’s absolutely vital that this ban happens.
There’s a huge report that a good handful of lawyers made about the AfD which explains why they are antidemocratic and unconstitutional. It’s obviously in German but I’ll be happy to drop a link once I get around to it. The AfD is without doubt the scariest of the bunch. You do not want to have them as your neighbours.

Tolerance paradox.

Take it from us in the USA, do not fuck around with these types of groups
Amputation is a valid course of treatment while the cancer or infection is spreading. Leaving the limb alone can lead to dead much more quickly.

Not seeing any alternatives presented here…
Solve the problems that the voterbase is experiencing. Those problems are real even if what they believe the cause is is wrong.

To be fair, we really should be trying to solve our problems anyway. Lol

Welcome to the USA. :(

Such as? Genuine question. I’m Dutch-Frankian, but I don’t pay that much attention to German politics. I have my own to worry about.

banning them just leads to some other even more radical party to rise up as the voter base who supports them won’t disappear
But to build up the infrastructure, the network, the funding takes years. That’s the main reason behind the ban.
Dealing leniently with their predecessor just gave him time to write his manifesto.
