When Neo-Nazis or similar hate groups say "We hate Jews and people who look different than us" and etc, what they're really saying is "We solve problems with hate and violence". Are you insinuating that Jews are problems? | ||

Though, I think most overlook the fact that a good deal of that power was rooted in the propaganda and theatrics of a weakling. Hitler was a cookie-cutter narcissist who used people as tools to try to accomplish unrealistic goals. Then he killed himself when it was time to face the music. Not a great role model. | ||

1) Young Neo-Nazis who truly believe in the third reich in the the way it was under hitlers dictatorship because of bad education and the will to have a different and extreme opinion to separate from others. 2) People who dont like the situation who are sick of the "empty talk" of politicians think NPD can change something with their aggressive attitude. These People often dont really think about that it could end in another third reich thought. 3) Older people who have the "back then everything was better" mindset. So how can this change? I think 3) will solved by time itself. Solving 2) should be the task of the big partys and/or the way the media presents stuff (media seems biased in politic stuff anyways, so why not in a good direction?). What about 1? Well to be honest i dont think you can completly rule out the problem but that should be fine. | ||

Certainly it helps, but is it really the issue? You realise that, internally at least, Europe has never been so peaceful as it has these past couple decades, right? Education doesn't remove all problems, but it does help combat them. | ||

Muslims and europeans cant mix. perhaps its a temporary thing but its excalating quickly. With breivik being the latest & biggest example. Alot of small stuff happens pretty much everyday. In denmark the latest news is that a community with a majority of muslim voted down christmas for the christian minority. They apparently just spend around $10,000 on an EID fest and wont spend around $1,000 on an x-mas tree. | ||

But they don't, that's the point. Recently the NPD had a lower turnout than say 8 years ago (When their federal turnout was also just 1.6%). I very much doubt they will manage anything close to that in the elections next year. | ||

There will be no takeover in germany or indeed anywhere of actual neo-nazis. That brand is burned... The second is that the constant information about nazi crimes which is a fact of life when growing up german speaking (G, A, CH). Not even ridicule of the nazis is allowed in a polite discussion, because it might detract from the crimes which are the fundation of the self consciousness of german speaking nations. This has lead to a curious attraction to the nazis by the rejects of society, mainly for their achievements. Since a "normal" relation towards this part of our history is impossible and the barrage of documentories special features and generally feeling sorry for that part of our history is what you are subjected to, some individuals reject it outright and become neo nazies. But i would classify the phenomenon of actual neo nazies as a fringe, more akin to satanism than a political movement empowering themselves by identifying with societies absolute evil. The New right (LePen, Haider, Wilders, EDF) is a much bigger threat and they stay well away from actual nazi symbols, which is what makes them dangerous. Greece is a special case however... | ||

If that'd be the case the nutjobs should have more people supporting them, shouldn't they? And I'd say there's already a bunch of deluded idiots in there who have no idea what they're doing and just want to do something different/weird for the sake of doing something different/weird. | ||

The 6 years of war, 10 years of rebuilding destroyed cities and 40 years of US and Soviet occupation? Or are there like, 130 year olds I haven't heard of that still remember the days of Wilhelms. | ||

increasing crisis = increasing extremist party. You can educate people as much as you want, if your people struggle to get a decent living condition (a job that can allow them to take care of their family and such), they will embrace extremist option for most of them. | ||

What we need is proper handling on issues of immigration etc, which lets voters make a clear stance. You don't have to be a xenophobe to realize immigration is a big issue which can be handled in many different ways. | ||

And how can you blame them? Look at the economic situation in Europe. Two years ago we had the greatest recession since the Great Depression and it hit Europe just as hard. Germany is having to pick up all the slack for the rest of the EU and it's starting to get to them, and some people are looking back at how NSDAP saved the German Economy 80 years ago. With that said, I do not believe Nazi-ism is the answer to any economic issue nor do I think National Socialism is a good economic system for anything other than a wartime economy, but I think that might play into the mindset of some of these people. | ||

Anyway, its a downright shame that the Germans havent been able to eradicate Nazism completely but ultimately its just a manifestation of human asshattery and that never goes out of style, at best it can be suppressed. Quite frankly, I am not a fan of Germans but I always respect their ability to come to terms with WW2 and do it in a responsible manner. Much better than the Japanese, the Canadians the Americans, the Brits or the Russians re: whole sale slaughter and/or enslavement of people. As for the whole "Nazis will rise up and replay WW2" that ship has sailed. | ||

Perhaps some of these people are not so much for the killing of jews and antisemitism but for the National Socialism and the absolutely unprecedented and, in my opinion, still unmatched level of economic growth it gave for the German people.

Ya. Except, the economic growth did not benefit the people. All that the Nazis managed to do was run up their inflation and put a lot of guys to 'work' by getting them into uniforms or into factories making the uniforms and tanks. Private businesses whose bosses were so cooperative with the Nazis benefited on paper but even they werent allowed to use their wealth for anything but reinvestment back into the armaments industry. By 1936 the German experiment was running out of cash. The annexations of Austria and the Czech portions of Czechoslovakia transferred valuable loot to the Germans that kept them going. So did the Soviet-Nazi pact. | ||
