Topic: Should Germany ban the AfD?

Anonymous A started this discussion 1 year ago #121,001

There's a serious possibility that it will happen.

Is full democracy to unstable to maintain itself?

No uts probably fine if an economically stagnating Germany has a surging right-wing political movement in the mid '20s-'30s.

The movement will be there whether the party is recognized or not. Does it help to push the movement into centre-right organizations? This could make moderates of them, or pull those parties further to the right, I don't know.

The various political manoeuvrings to keep the AfD, PVV, RN etc. out of power are one thing, but outright banning your burgeoning political rivals undermines the idea of Western Full Democracy™ as a thing that even exists.

Nah. Germany has a great history of handling far-right movements.

Luckily, the Nazi Party were banned in 1923. Its supporters peacefully disbanded, faded into obscurity, and were never heard from again.

It would be better to address the conditions that lead to surges in support for right-wing movements (e.g. mass immigration, economic stagnation) than trying to ban them.

I dunno, maybe jack up energy prices with another carbon tax and dump another couple million more Somalis in? That'll fix it.

Nah. Far simpler to label everyone who disagrees with the EU's neoliberalism as a "far-right pro-Putin threat to democracy". That'll make them go away.
