The GOT Book Club

[peteblue]

Who’d have thought that, the good old book thread, where people come to recommend books and talk about them, would turn in a battle between the Commies and the Nazis

Yet it’s been a decent discussion and one that perhaps we can all learn from. Most of us on here have no idea what is actually happening in Germany, so it’s all a bit illuminating…….

You've shifted the goalposts massively. My statements were:

that neo-nazis have a foothold in Germany - they do
that the east of the country is the hub of far right and neo-nazis political group and parties - it is
that far right parties like the AfD have marched with more extreme nazi groups - they have

...which policies of the AfD are an affront to decency?

their resurrection of ethnic-nationalism through the Volkisch movement, something the nazis utlised in the 20s and 30s
criticism of the Holocaust Memorial Museum
opposition to immigration and multi-culturalism and a call for mass deportations
opponents of same sex marriage
climate change deniers

....how on earth do your hand support to that lot?

AFD are pure scum. Sadly the far right have gained a foothold in mainstream politics across all of Europe, using racist language to gain fringe votes and line their own pockets.

Currently reading a very interesting book on the history of Portugal by Barry Hatton. Doesn’t hide from any difficult questions and details how a party like the disgusting far right Chega party have been able to gain popularity.

It’s like Hitler and Stalin having a dance off.
