    A ban is incredibly hard. Not impossible, but hard.

    Not in Germany. Spreading Nationalist or Nazi-adjacent views is a crime in Germany. the AfD not only should be banned, but many of those those involved in it should be arrested and face criminal charges for spreading Nazism. It’s literally just a matter of enforcing the law.

    And even if, it won’t solve the actual problem.

    It’ll solve a large part of the problem.

    A great way to cut their votes in half would be educating the population so they understand that protest is good but voting for fascist scum is not.

    Germany is extremely highly educated. If you want to send a message to Nazis, start throwing them in prison until the rest get the message and fuck off.
