   So what's new in german politics? Nothing fundamental i would say.

   We had CDU (neoliberals purporting to be conservative) mostly, and when they mess up too much, the SPD (neoliberals purporting to have social values) took over. They then proceed to mess up even more (biggest blow to our social system was by them + green party) to get the CDU back on track.

   Now, the AFD (neonazi party which is rather silent about also being neoliberal) won a local election, and our minister of the interior Nancy Faeser (SPD) is worried about the economy. Good job, telling people they don't matter, exactly what will drive more to vote AFD.

   So, in conclusion, the SPD still works hard at passing the scepter, just this time to neoliberals that are also neonazis instead of the usual.

     @admitsWrongIfProven excuse my ignorance, wouldn't a neonazi party be illegal in Germany?

     @admitsWrongIfProven The shorthand is to accuse them of a crime? I don't know anything about the party or their politics. I think things like "hate speech" and "nazi" are often used in ways that are probably not entirely accurate so I have to step back and ask questions. Are they saying things like "I Hate Immigrants and you should too" or more like "We need to preserve our culture"?

     @thatguyoverthere Yes, if said outright it would be illegal. It is a shorthand used here to describe that the AFD is eliciting hate against immigrants. A large part of their election campaign is hate-based, but just shy of openly illegal statements.
     Please excuse the shorthand.
