In reality, far from stopping the far right, Germany is implementing a far right agenda. Increase police authority? Check. Scapegoat immigrants and other marginalized groups? Check. Build up the military? Check. Suppress protests and dissenters? Check. Impose austerity, providing the fertile ground for fascists? Check.

By the time the AfD comes to power, they won't have to do anything. The liberals (including socdems and greens) will already have created a fascist society.

These are a lot of statements without sources. Also most people would disagree with the statement that a government that includes social democrats and greens is implementing a "far right agenda".

Fucking Scholz said he wanted to "finally deport in a big way" ("endlich im großen Stil abschieben"). This is (well used to be) a far right agenda. They're sending weapons to Israeli fascists while they commit genocide, and defend them at every opportunity. These people support fascists and fascist policies.

What exactly do you even dispute is untrue about what I said?

Scholz was talking about around 50000 people who came seeking asylum but we're found to have no right to asylum. It's not very humane but it's the current law. The actual fascists of the far right are talking millions.

SPD is a relatively conservative party but it's absolutely insane to call them fascists.

It’s not very humane but it’s the current law

They changed the law so they can deport more people!

They are absolutely going far right with this one especially and their rhetoric around it. These used to be totally unacceptable far right slogans and policies, but here we are. Basic human rights suspended. Just because the AfD is worse does not mean the SPD has not shifted into what not long ago was far right territory. But oh no, calling out racism and how the SPD is effectively enabling a shift towards fascism is too far for you! That's exactly how this rightward shift can happen, because people like you are making excuses for this shit.
