Summary

Germany's parliament will debate a proposed ban on the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) for the first time next week.

The proposal cites the AfD's increasing radicalism and historically revisionist statements, such as co-leader Alice Weidel’s claim that Hitler was a communist.

Under Germany's constitution, a party ban requires proof of opposition to constitutional principles.

Critics warn that a ban could portray the AfD as martyrs.

The AfD currently polls in second place at 20% ahead of February elections.

They need to discuss if a nazi party should be banned.

And that's why these bastards always win. While the democratic parties try to fight these assholes "legally", they can just say fuck the law since there won't be consequences as the traditional parties try to do things the right way.

reminder that the nazis were technically called the "National socialists", they've always hidden behind pleasant-sounding names.
