Could you explain how the AfD is left leaning? Their positions align with the right: - stopping immigration - stronger rights for police and authorities - emphasis on classical gender roles, ban of LGBT "propaganda" (as they call it) - lowering taxes and reducing government size - leaving the Euro zone and creating a new currency And since they are taking these positions to their extremes, it seems entirely fair to call them "extreme right". No other parties would keep literal Nazis among their leadership.

Similar positions count as moderate in many other countries.

  You did not understand me correctly. They are taking extreme versions of these positions. It doesn't matter whether the positions themselves count as moderate in other countries or not.
