  • The last time they tried to ban a party in Germany was the NPD (another Nazi party) and at the end the Supreme Court decided the reason not to ban them, even though they were clearly unconstitutional , was because they were to few/insignificant (in the end they banned them from receiving party funding which still has a massive effect).

    So you couldnt ban them because they were to small and you can’t ban the AfD because they’re to big? Just because enough people vote for a party doesn’t mean they’re not unconstitutional.

  • Most of your points were already correctly dismantled. But I’d just like to ad to

    In a democracy where some 30% vote nazi, banning them won’t solve anything. Anything.

    Is a sentiment I often feel too. I believe that we have to do so much more to fight against Fascists than just Vote and “use the democratic system correctly”. (I.e. fight fascism in the streets, offer actual political solutions to peoples problems…). But to say this won’t do anything is a huge understatement.

    Banning the AfD will:

    1. Disband the party leaving them in shambles to reorganize
    2. Stop the money flow which is going to the AfD (and in turn to other right wing groups
    3. Finally delegitimize the AfD and their main actors in a Democratic setting

    A ban would be an amazing feat but it would just be a little breather in the fight against fascism.
