They don't even know what will hit 'em

>Calls to ban far-right German party pose propaganda risk

>The SPD is calling for a ban which is also supported by several ministers from the union of conservative Christian Democrats and Christian Socialists (CDU/CSU). But there are other union ministers who say that we shouldn't implement a ban because it would be too dangerous.

>They say we can't pull the undercover agents out of the NPD. But undercover agents are not secret service employees who have been smuggled into the NPD. They are neo-Nazis who sell information to the state and most of it is of questionable value anyway. The undercover agents allowed the 2003 ban attempt to fail at the constitutional court and there is a good chance that a new attempt to ban the party would fail for the same reason as it does not look like most states have removed their undercover agents. The situation has not changed. The union doesn't want to stop working with the under cover agents because they say that the NPD is too dangerous and that under no circumstances should we pull the agents out. Conversely, this means that the NPD is protected from being banned by its own radicalism. It's an absurd situation.

Indeed it is considering:

>the NPD has been in a serious crisis for a while now. The party experienced a series of electoral defeats.
>Clearly the NPD is not about to come to power here in Germany and attempts to make that case are complete nonsense
>the NPD is politically meaningless. The danger posed by the NPD is their aggressive propaganda

Liberals are morons to think that we are like them. Liberals think everything is politics, after all if the political elites were killed in a freak accident and the army took over, that would put a complete end to liberal democracy as we know it because there is nothing like it in actual society. On this basis they believe it is the same with us - they believe that all the badness in society comes from hateful and extremist political parties who are the reason for people rejecting liberalism. Political parties are in reality relativly unimportant, in fact we would benifit greatly from clearing out our own failed, useless, and ideologically incorrect political groups for something a little more down to earth. The article continues;

>What specifically can politicians do?

>NPD poster in Saxony-AnhaltThe NPD has seats in two German state parliamentsPoliticians should immediately stop engaging in such discussions. It is very important to NPD to be taken seriously in the public eye and being in the national media is free advertising. Politicians should focus their efforts on strengthening pro-democracy, anti-right wing extremist programs, instead of weakening them, which is currently the case.

>One must deal with the problem and the phenomenon. By that I mean that we shouldn't be talking about the NPD straight after the attacks in Norway because Anders Breivik is not a classic neo-Nazi, but is characterized by right-wing populism. This is clear in his manifesto. If you suddenly point to the NPD, it is simplifying the problem too much. Almost everyone is against the NPD, but right-wing populist ideology is engrained much deeper in society than sympathy for the NDP. This is the reason we should be talking about right-wing populism and not an NPD ban.

It is already too late for you Patrick
