From Bloomberg Opinion’s Katja Hoyer:
When Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) won a regional election last year, global [headlines](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/germany-elections-far-right-rcna169139) proclaimed the first far-right victory in Germany “since the Nazis.” Now Elon Musk has [endorsed](https://www.welt.de/debatte/kommentare/plus254982012/Warum-Elon-Musk-auf-die-AfD-setzt-und-warum-er-dabei-irrt.html) the AfD, arguing its depiction “as far right is absolutely wrong.”
With the anti-immigration party set to make huge gains at the upcoming federal election, the question has never been more pertinent: How right-wing is the AfD?
Weidel is more like Trump. But Höcke is really another breed. To quote him:”The big problem is that Hitler is portrayed as absolute evil.”
Sentences like that were unsayable for German politicians a couple of years ago. But if Höcke leads the AfD future can become very grimm, very fast.
The party is rife with Nazis and other flavors of fascist from the top down. Even if their official platform isn’t that extreme, it’s only a matter of time before they shift politics right into hell
Let the sanewashing begin.
They’re minimalizing Nazi atrocities so I would say they’re pretty far-right enough for many decent people.
