Germany restricts neo-Nazi marches

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's lower house of parliament has approved curbs on neo-Nazi marches because of concerns extremists may tarnish events in central Berlin in May marking the end of World War Two in Europe.
Under the new legislation, far-right demonstrations would be kept away from sites dedicated to victims of the Nazi regime.

Germany's new central Holocaust memorial will be specially protected, while the country's 16 federal states would decide themselves which historically sensitive sites to shield from the country's liberal rules on demonstrations and free speech.

Also, in Germany, is it not a crime punishable by imprisonment to dispute the official number of Jews killed in the Holocaust?

[Menydh]

Yes. It's called holocaust denial.

In other regions, while this legal term doesn't exist in that particular form, there exist others like incitement to racial hatred. It is a vague legal term which can be used in similar terms to that of holocaust denial.

[Aeternitas]

Yes. Holocaust denial is illegal and punishable by imprisonment.

If you want to keep something alive, ban it. Who is out marching in the streets? Is it old people ready to die or is it young people? If it is young people, imagine trying silence youthful rebellion and the questioning of the established order using methods from the Dark Ages?

Communism is now dead. It was allowed to work itself out, freely and completely in the eyes of its participants. Capitalism-"democracy" is now under attack in some parts of the world and may not survive as long as some think it will.

But Nazism never got a fair hearing. WW2 ended the experiment before it had a fair hearing. This is why it is still around and why it will be until it has its hearing and is allowed evolve into something else.

In some sense such a ban is quite natural: it would be naive to hope that occupation administration led by local politicians would favour the national renaissance of Germans.
The problem is : to what extent Germans were " re-educated " during 60 years of brain-washing? Are they(first of all the German youth) capable to be ready at the appropriate moment to step out and to lead an active struggle?
I have to confess that in Russia national feeling is extremely weak, Russians are quite indifferent to their destiny as a nation.

Solar Wolf is somehow wrong if he thinks that Communism is dead. It is gone in its phase of totalitarian dictatorship, but the modern left, be it in the form of Socialist, Social-Democratism, or others, carries that essence of the totalitarian and materialistic doctrine that once was represented by Communism.

And as totalitarists, they can't allow competition.

I will refer you to Spain and the Black Legend. The infamous lies contained in the Spanish Black Legend, spread by Jews first with the invaluable help of Protestantism and England, and then the US of America.

And it hasn't been going on for 60 years, but for centuries. Even today, when history has been revisioned and most of the lies have been refuted by historians, the wound remains open in the hearts of peoples like the first day.

And there is more than one lesson that can be learned from it.
