Germany's Constitutional Court ruled on Tuesday that the extreme right-wing NPD should have its state subsidies withdrawn and its tax relief canceled for six years.

The case is to an extent symbolic, as the Nationalist Democratic Party of Germany (NPD), now known as "Die Heimat" (The Homeland), has not been receiving subsidies in recent times after failing to obtain enough votes in elections. However, it still benefits from tax relief measures.

The court's ruling could well play a role in current deliberations over whether similar measures could be taken against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

The video coming out of Germany is unreal. They put a million people in the streets. All because the AfD talked about mass deportations, something the Trumpers in the US freely talk about. Much respect for them.

A friend sent me some audio from the scene.

It was nice to hear Germans chanting "Nazis Raus!". If only Americans had the same convictions.

What does that translate to, out of curiosity? Never Nazis?

Nazis out [of the country/ the government/ whatever]

It feels more like a request to bystanders than the Nazis themselfes to me. More like a "throw them out" than a "leave"

The other poster is dead on right, but to build a bit of context on the somewhat morbid poetry of it all, "Juden Raus!" was not an uncommon chant of the NSDAP rallies of the 30's and 40's.

It's a reaction to neonazis shouting "Ausländer raus" since the 80s. It's a direct answer to their slogans, not something that is unconsidered.

Today, it makes more sense than ever. There was the critique answer "Yeah, but you cannot deport a Nazi, because he's a German citizen!".

Now that the Nazis were busy making plans how to deport millions of German citizens ...

Not saying we should, at least for the sake of the receiving country.

"No but they can be rounded up and shot, this much has been proven already."

Should have been thorough with it the last time. Would have saved us much trouble.
