Breitbart ^ | 12/15/2022 | Peter Caddle

Harsh words were exchanged in the German parliament amid calls from various leftist politicians to ban the country’s most successful populist party.

Leftists in Germany are now openly calling for the populist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party to be outright banned over alleged links to the so-called “Reichsbürger” movement in the country which questions the legitimacy of the current German state.

Many legacy politicians and activists have been especially keen to link those in the party to the movement amid claims that the country’s police recently unearthed an attempt by a number of Reichsbürger adherents to violently overthrow the country’s government.

Fascists always work to eliminate those they disagree with. Fascists are leftists.

coming soon to America. They basically did this here to MAGA. The shadow government behind the scenes took him out and crippled his presidency, and now they have destroyed his endorsed candidates with illegal schemes like mail-in ballots and drop boxes.

The National Socialists feared the monarchists. Looks like the Socialists still do.

"which questions the legitimacy of the current German state"

To question anything and everything, to exclude nothing from question and examination, is an integral part of the quest for truth, which is the foundation of Western Civilization.

Contempt for truth, truth for its own sake, is the evil most fundamental to the Decadence of Western Civilization.

If the Germans had freely questioned the Nazi Regime, including its legitimacy, the entire Third Reich and World War II could have been avoided.

All Americans (and Germans) (and everyone else) should find this sobering, and it should enjoin them to demand unrestricted freedom of speech and the free exchange of ideas.

Why can’t we do the same with the DNC which also claims America and the constitution are illegitimate?

“hy can’t we do the same with the DNC . . .?”

Because it is the DNC that wrote this playbook and shared it with their German fellow travelers.

The Reichstag fire is such a good play that it keeps being done over and over like Shakespeare.

Remember the Reichstag! Don't put anything past what a socialist will do to get his way. Germany need not look too far in its past to know that those who compromise with evil will reap evil!

Hey, that’s what the Nazis did (got opposition parties declared illegal)

Once you start on the road of guilt by association, where do you stop?

Does Antifa and Black Lives Matter justify making the Democratic Party illegal?

Do white supremacists justify making the Republican Party illegal?

The problem of equal treatment before the law isn’t a problem for Democrats, because they don’t believe in equal treatment before the law. According to Democrats, it’s good when they do it, and bad when others do it.

Cool. Wir marschieren wieder! We march again!

So, when do we break out the snappy uniforms and start all the heel clicking?
