- peroporque 6y agoIt's not. Modern CDU/CSU are basically where the social democrats were about ten years ago.

- _0ffh 6y agoPrecisely! Yet more proof that "Conservatism is progressivism driving the speed limit". And the speed limit seems to be rather generous in this case. But for some it's never high enough, they'd pull down all of Chesterton's fences at the merest whim.

- peroporque 6y agoNo, I don't.
- pantalaimon 6y ago> Modern CDU/CSU are basically where the social democrats were about ten years ago. relevant?
- peroporque 6y agoThat too. But I was mostly referring to political positions.
- anoncake 6y agoSpineless, aimless and dysfunctional?
- mschuster91 6y agoLook at the history of CDU/CSU interior ministers, both federal and in the states. They are authoritarians, and their party line regarding interior politics is authoritarian. As for calling them Nazis... well, when one looks at the events regarding former Verfassungsschutz chef Maaßen, instituted by HP Friedrich and protected by successor Seehofer until it was no longer tenable, who is accused of having protected the AfD during his term: it's not that far to at least imply ideological support or tolerance toward far right political positions.
