#2 I'll bet Die Linke are further left than AFD is right.

#3 The leader of the AfD in Thuringia is a Nazi, not some "far right" politician.

#4 You mean Bjorn Höcke ? Hocke is only about excising the historic guilt over the Holocaust from German politics I think. What's more important is his anti-muslim stance. And since the more danger to jews in Germany is actually from muslim immigrants, he's not really wrong in that sense, is he ? Just as Merkel is neither democrat nor christian, I think Hocke is more of a nationalist centrist than a Nazi.

However, you'd know better. This is what I perceive from afar.

#5 No, he is a Nazi. He's written a book about his ideas which are straight out of Mein Kampf.

I know a Nazi when I see one. To be anti-Muslim isn't an excuse.

#6 The leader of the AfD in Thuringia is a Nazi,

Is that a situation unique to Thuringia?

When our US media uses the term 'far-right' referring to Euro politics, it means populist and not commies.

#7 Not all members of the AfD are Nazis. But Höcke and his cronies are.

He's written a book about his ideas which are straight out of Mein Kampf.

So have Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama, Al Gore, and Nancy Pelosi.
