-Caveat Lector-
I lived in Germany for 4 years and many Germans are still scandalized by the
acts of their ancestors, many apologetic, humbled, horrified and on a vigilant
watch for anything that resembles a Nazi platform, seeking to help redeem the
past by acting with care, respect and honor in the present. Many political
parties have been outlawed due to the content of their political philosophies
which are too close to Nazi thinking for the comfort of the Germans.
One German friend explained to me that one of the major problems with this is
that the outlawed parties simply disband and reform with a new name, and often
are once again banned by the government. Another side to this extreme vigilance
can also be seen as repressive to freedom of speech and belief WHEN political
parties that are nationalistic, advocate protectionism and limited immigration,
as many in this country also do, are perceived as Nazis and persecuted as such,
even if they are not anti-semitic or racist.
