That’s simple. Whenever the German media says “far right” read “normal”.

[Olog-hai]

Not in all cases. Just like the Dems and their media try to do over here, they lump the normal in with what Goebbels termed “the German Left”. They too readily conflate “nationalist” with “national-socialist”, when Goebbels made it plain that his party “despise(d) bourgeois nationalism”. And of course, real national-socialists sneak in to poison the well.

I see nothing national-socialistic in AfD’s manifesto, just to be clear. I don’t like their ideas with respect to direct democracy, among a few other things, but overall there’s nothing in there that resembles the kind of socialism that has crawled over Europe for close to two centuries.
