Indeed there is a good argument for saying AfD are Nazi/neo-Nazi - born out of the ashes of the original Nazi party. Let’s put aside the bluster and outrage for a second, though: did (accurately) calling them Nazis stop them getting a huge majority vote in the former East Germany? I fucking hate Elon and think he is a Nazi, but calling him that doesn’t seem to be working. We want them and people like them beyond the pale: outside of acceptable political discourse. Literally what they are doing is renaming themselves and saying “no not us” and we need to make the awful shit they do stick to whatever they call themselves. We need to do whatever works to stop them. Of course we can still understand their connections and similarities to Nazis - but the urgent thing is to halt their progress and drive them backwards. Because they’re currently winning. Leastways that’s my take.
