    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.

      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.

        their Nazi projects

        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.

      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.

        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
