Germany’s spy agency BfV has labeled the entirety of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as an extremist entity.

The BfV domestic intelligence agency, which is in charge of safeguarding Germany’s constitutional order, said the announcement comes after an “intense and comprehensive” examination.

“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.

Hopefully this inspires the other parties to to start the process to see the AfD banned. I know the report might not look like much, because of how obvious the findings are. But previous attempts at banning them have failed because such an official report was missing. So maybe our political system starts getting its shit together.

As we say in Germany: Hope dies last

    Banning political party is anti-democratic.

    Except when it’s a nazi party. Don’t give nazis the time of day.

        When the term Nazi has lost all meaning due to the left throwing it around at everything they don’t like, calling a party a “Nazi party” also means nothing and causes most people to just roll their eyes at you, and often actually look into what you’re so angry at

        Nah we calling nazis nazis. Not just things we don’t like. Question for you. If the AFD ain’t about nazis, why do nazis think they are?

        Nothing in their policies on their website is even remotely “Nazi” adjacent

        No, no just all the nazi dog whistles.

        What makes them “Nazis” in your opinion

        Goose steps like a nazi, has nazi ties, doesn’t decry nazis who love them. Brother you got yourself a nazi.

                    DPRK is, neither democratic, or a republic of the people. This concept of calling themselves something their not shouldn’t be so confusing to you. Please tell me you’re not serious about this, the nazis are, and have always been far right. If you are serious, you really need to take proper history classes, revisionist history about the nazis is not ok.
