Isn’t being a nazi illegal in germany? How are there “legal” nazis in a major party?
Comment on Mastodon.social shadowbanned me and there's no way to contact anyone about it

right-wing party
Extremist right-wing party. With substantial parts legally being called Nazis.
Even though nowhere in their rules it says anything about this even being any offence.
3: […] Support for violent groups or events is prohibited.
And which later turned out to be completely unsubstantial as many people suspected.
It’s not. “Many people”, aka. AfD supporters and the AfD themselves.
Oh, did he? He just stood there and claimed something. There was supposedly a great report with all the hard facts, but no one was allowed to see it. That’s not much different from “Yes, I did my homework, but then she (sic) ate my dog.”
(The original toot, translated from german)
Thing is, all contents were openly collected and sorted by 3rd parties already. The report is as relevant to anyone aware of any politics as the Principia Mathematica’s Section 54.43 is for thinking humans in order to prove that 1+1=2. The only usefulness lies in AfD supporters being unable to deny the obvious.

Being a Nazi is not illegal. As no person themselve is illegal. Saying nazi stuff is illegal tho, so eg. Höcke (party leader) was sued for 13k€ for saying “alles für Deutschland”/“everything for germany”

Is that a Nazi slogan? I am not familiar.

Jup.
banned slogan of the NSDAP’s paramilitary “Sturmabteilung”.

These are quite some mental gymnastics going from my toot:
(Correctly translated, btw.)
to:
Wow! Just wow! You should sign up as a moderator on mastodon.social. You’d fit right in.

I should’ve included more context:
They, openly for years, and now officially, are extrimists and their members systematically violent.
And I just noticed that, as so often with deepl, it first detected the german text as english, therefore translated (english)german to german, and malformed it, so in my working copy it read “meinen” instead of “mein”. Should have double checked that, but >01:30 CET demands its tribute.

Keyword: supposedly
Because that’s what it said in the report my instance has received. Somebody on the moderation team made the same mental gymnastics you did. Just because I’ve questioned the stated conclusion of a report that was kept secret from the public. Nothing else. Nowhere did I say that I support that party. I just don’t like blindly trusting what politicians (and their government institutions) announce without giving any challengeable proof.
Their status as extremist as per that report mentioned in my toot has been revoked/put on hold until a proper court case: German news article
If it was as crystal clear as you make it out, why revoke it?
(These days, the constitutional courts of all the states try to get that status reinstated in their respective states. But that wasn’t a thing back when I did this toot.)

They say/write “they banned for X, but I didn’t do X”, instead of “they banned me for X, but X isn’t even forbidden”, even though it clearly is.
As I said, the report itself is just a compilation of publicly known and collected information. You’d be essentially distrusting that 1 + 1 = 2, because the 5 page mathematical proof is no open to the public. Of course, the actual proof that 1+1=2 is open, but you hopefully get the point.
The VS is completely independent. There are no politicians behind it. Otherwise, the whole thing wouldn’t make sense. Even your source says so.
The status hasn’t been revoked at all. That’s a common misconception. It’s not being taken back, obviously. They are just not calling them extremist openly, until there is a first decision in the lawsuit. Just as any other lawsuit for eg. defamation, no matter which side is on the right - you’ll first be ordered to stop openly calling the other party a liar or similar, or stop doing that by yourself. Again, your source literally states this.

Isn’t this the group whose leaders publicly stated “Germany was safer under Hitler,” then both invited and hosted Elon “Sieg Heil 2x” Musk at a campaign rally?

If you want a more complete list, check the mentioned “secret report” in readable form here, or in original form (hand scanned from paper as to be expected by an official german government body in 2025): part A and part B. The original leaker article is actually largely hidden behind a paywall (cicero.de/…/cicero-veroffentlicht-das-gesamte-geh…). And it’s 02:00 CET so i’m not gonna search for the original direct links to the files.

Just for transparency: The first link is the “old” report from 2021 which was public IIRC. The partA/partB links seem to point to the newer one - clearly showing the “VS - NUR FÜR DEN DIENSTGEBRAUCH” (“Verschlusssache” - confidential, official use only) at the top.
