    Stopping the rise of the far right is trivially easy, and government holds the levers. Just do two things:

    1. reduce immigration
    2. tax the wealthy

    Seems they would rather lose to nazis than do those two things.

    Edit: seems more than a few of you are rushing to lose to Nazis too

      Taxing the rich is what the current government wants. The right wing does not want that.

        The FDP very definitely does not want this, and one would be justified in doubting if the top brass of the SPD wants it. Personally, I am inclined to believe they only suggest plans like this knowing full well nothing will come of them in this government constellation.

          The FDP does not want this. But both the SPD and the Greens want to. Good luck getting any tax increases past the CDU, FDP and AfD.

      The first one isn’t necessary. Just need to tax the wealthy and ensure that companies cannot exploit immigrant labor to increase profits. Immigration isn’t the problem, the companies are.
