Remember that the Nazis were elected to the legislature, a minority party, and once they were put in power they ended democracy in order to retain power. Another way to look at it: Would it be acceptable for even a majority, 55% of a nation, to elect a leader who would bring an end to future elections (even, for the sake of example, one who pledged to do it)?
Democracy, which I very strongly favor, does have some weaknesses. As someone said, 'Democracy must be more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.'
Also, Germany, with its history, is in a very unusual situation. Neo-Nazis in power is not an acceptable outcome. They also censor new-Nazi materials.
