Hmmm for me the Fox News Story has a smell, because Fox News quotes a link to the Daily Telegraph which isnt existing.

Can a German national clarify a question for me? I thought it was illegal in Deutschland for someone to even be associated with the NSDAP?

The NSDAP is still illegal in germany, but there are many other small Neo Nazi Parties like the NPD or the DVU. There is not just one Neo Nazi Parti here, but there are not so many as the media always claims. Here in Bavaria when 50 Nazis show up, mostly there ist twice as much cops at the scene.

Vielen dank, Kongo. I was under the impression that anything that could even remotely be associated with Hitlerian Nazism was verboten. Clearly, I was mistaken - I appreciate your help!

Neonazism and antisemitism is on the rise again in Germany, as is left extremism too. Especially in Eastern Germany, there are more thna just Jarmel, more villages and small towns, where Neonazis have taken over control, even have become the dominant political faction town withz shares of around one third, and I seem to remember that in some very few villages they even have the support of a majority of local villagers, but this I quote from memory and am not totally certain that it does not fool me.

Crime associated with right extremism still has the edge over crime associated with lkeft extremism, but the balance is shifting rapidly. Last year, right-winged crime has been found to decvline a little bit, while leftist crime has doubled.

With many areas especially in the East being disconnected from any economic perspective and sopcial developement for a diversity of reasons, the East is a strong breeding ground for extremism. Nazism, Leftism/Communism and Islamism are the three dominating representatives of this trend. the onme thing they all have in common is a strong anti-Israel and anti-USA bias and a strong antisemitic sentiment.

It is. They always have to watch their words and symbols they use. It's a balance between freedom of speech and protection against the Nazi ideology.

Can you explore this further for me, Schroeder? Are the guys being called NeoNazi flagrantly violating the law, or using a legal hole to avoid prosecution? I would think that any resurgence of something approximating "power" in the hands of people like this would be cracked down upon very swiftly, yet it appears not to be the case.
