And don't forget Germany never underwent denazification

While I don't know how accurate this statement is, I do wonder how you would go about doing it now, so far after the war.

Where would you even start?

What criteria would you use to determine the nazi index of every person, what index value would be the threashhold, who would decide on who is nazi and who is nice.

It would be very easy just take people who use to be in the party and kick them out like they should have at the get-go. Not that it matters because they have very little animus to do so.

Do the Nazi party still exist in germany?

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I believe there's a party with a lot of the same values fighting to be allowed onto the ballots.

That’s not the point. Nazi officials, generals and party members were integrated into the nascent west German state and NATO right after WW2. Explicitly by the US to help “fight communism”. Cause you know, the best anti-communists are the Nazis…

Oh, I know that parts of Germany didn't go through denazification, but my question was more about how to solve that problem today.
