You mean the NPD which was ruled unconstitutional but too small to be of importance, therefore not outlawed? https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/17/world/europe/ger

  I'm not fully following on what your point is; My post was primarily intended to be informative of political actions on the other side of extremism. Also, banning a political party is quite a big hammer, regardless of how important the party itself is.

    Do you have any awareness about the laws governing the history of violent extremism in Germany? Theres a reason right wing and far right wing parties face legal scrutiny.

      Technically speaking, there's no law governing any history; There's laws governing behavior in the present that arose from events in history. I live in Germany for 12 years by now; I can't claim a lawyer-level knowledge of e.g. §130 StGB, but I have a basic understanding. What I'm having trouble following is the logic of "the violent extremism on the other side is less bad, because it hasn't led to similarly horrible effects yet".
