STUTTGART, Germany (AP) - German police raided 224 apartments and houses across the country Wednesday, confiscating 45,000 music CDs in a crackdown on the far-right music scene.

Stuttgart prosecutors, who led the operation, said 204 people aged 21-45 are being investigated for allegedly distributing the music, which includes xenophobic and anti-Semitic lyrics. There were no immediate arrests.

The production and sale of right-wing music that promotes an extremist agenda or racial hatred is against the law in Germany.

It's only far-right if you're the far-left. To everyone else, Nazi's were still a bunch of (national) socialists.

“Far right” in Germany means National Socialist. The current German Neo-Nazi party is borderline Communist in it’s platform already.

Sure... the operative word being, “Socialist”.

By “coming to a USA near you”, I meant speech restrictions against the Chosen One and his minions, framed as “anti-hate” legislation.

Wonder if the same standards apply to Rappers swill. Don't bother - Know the answer.

Yeah but can you imagine if we were to do the same to the dreaded, evil, cRap music? My goodness we would all be put in jain for even thinking of that...and thats what its all about isn't it....the left and their thought police....

“xenophobic” means daring to say that you think your own culture is worth preserving.

AP is only reporting this to confuse readers as to what “far-right” is.

Seems like the police in Europe never arrest leftists or Muslim terrorists. I bet a lot of this music was against open-borders and not against Jews.

Anyone who is against open-borders is tagged as a racist or nazi by the media.

Note to Germans, and everyone else, these folks are not "Far Right." They are, however, most certainly fascists, who were left-wing in origin and action.

We need to dispell this myth everywhere we hear it. Fascists didn't become "far right" until they started butting heads with the commies over methods, but the ultimate goal was totalitarian control. The main difference between fascists and commies is that fascists were generally nationalists and nation-based (Italy for Italians, Germany for Germans), where commies were internationalists and class-based.

Leave it to the AP to think that National Socialism is some how “right wing”. Even after overlooking the fact that it’s socialist by name, there’s still the fact that fascism was originally sold by Hitler and Mussolini as the ‘third way’ between capitalism and communism.
