[AmexRuislip]

A BBC report stating that Dresden, a city known for it's far right views, has taken the step of declaring an emergency, due to an escalation of Nazi extremism.

The resolution acknowledges that "right-wing extremist attitudes and actions... are occurring with increasing frequency" and calls on the city to help victims of far-right violence, protect minorities and strengthen democracy.

Seems very surreal to have all this going on.

I'm sure I can think of at least one occasional NSC poster who will be tempted to post some whataboutery.....my sympathies to those of you who chance upon reading it.

have you stopped BOOOOOOOOOOOOOING yet?

Feels like they are using the word "emergency" a bit more lightly than I would, but sure have heard about the issue. No simple solutions.

I wonder if the Aschenbach mentioned are related to the Aschenbach who was running the Sealand exile rebel government.

Fake news, everything’s perfect in the idyll of Germany and France.

I think you'll find that 'National Socialism' doesn't have very much to do with actual socialism.

No more are bingo wings made out of wings

Wasn’t really referring to National Socialism, just the combination of three ideals and what it can produce

Can you expand a bit on how socialism can lead to fascism or racism?

Hmmmm....an intellectual game rather than political analysis, then.... socialism (which some would argue does not even truly exist) is an ideal where everyone is equal regardless of ability, race or gender, and 'receives' according to need. It is the opposite of fascism, and eschews racism.

It seems Oliver Bierhoff has protested against Pegida's views.
I know he's retired but politics and sport

It’s just an opinion on how fascism occurs when the three ideologies are combined

It’s just a personal opinion on how differing ideologies can combine to produce something else entirely.
