From my point of view, the biggest problem with the AfD is that there is a lot of variability in the political currents that it contains. Most of them are pretty normal and reasonable. Some of them make me a bit uncomfortable. All based on my personal views of course. However I'm also sceptical of taking random comments as proof that a guy has a shrine to the Führer in his finished basement.

It is absolutely clear and obvious that Höcke is a Nazi who personally aspires to be the next Hitler.

  No. Not based on that article at least. Maybe you know more about him. A 3 word quote does not proof make. The German authorities are doing in their trousers because of the AfD's meteoric rise. They will do anything so that the average voter thinks that utter incompetent clowns like Scholz, Bärbock and Habeck are indeed good political choices. Any and all elements (like 3 word quotes) are going to be used to ban the real opposition. The sad fact is that a stuffed animal could do better for Germany than the current coalition. The AfD is in the right place at the right time.

    Yes, I know more about him. As does everyone who reads newspapers. There is an endless stream of clear fascist quotes from him: https://www.volksverpetzer.de/hintergrund/25-hoecke-zitate/ https://www.volksverpetzer.de/hintergrund/25-hoecke-zitate/ In fact, his own party members are unable to tell apart his writings from "Mein Kampf": https://www.stern.de/politik/deutschland/bjoern-hoecke-oder-hitler--nach-diesen-zitaten-fragte-das-zdf-afd-politiker-8906386.html https://www.stern.de/politik/deutschland/bjoern-hoecke-oder-...

      The newspapers are the masters of the cheap and nasty rhetoric I referred to in my first post on this subject. As for comparing Hitler quotes. Haha, very funny. But it turns out by that metric Taylor Swift is a genocidal monster[1].

        >The newspapers are the masters of the cheap and nasty rhetoric I referred to in my first post on this subject. Yeah, and you were wrong. Newspaper rhetoric is not a tenth as cheap and nasty as what you hear from fascist assholes like the AfD.

        I don't find such views as yours very pragmatic. I am not an ideologue. But I'm also not German so I'll leave the choices to you lot. Whilst mentioning that my only horse in the game is the fact that a healthy and prosperous Germany is beneficial to me, whereas the opposite is absolutely not. Best of luck.

        I don't see how open borders socialism can ever be a sustainable system, but I guess we'll see.
