Make the BNP a criminal organization?
Oct 25, 2009, 18:02
In the discussion and debating of solving the problem of the BNP it's occurred to me that there already is a precedent in W. Germany. They've made any display or dissemination of Nazism a crime.

Seems like it'd solve a lot of problems in one blow.

Thoughts?

BTW, I'd respond on the other thread but it's getting a bit long... I've been misunderstood and charged with equating mainstream right wing-ism with fascism. I have NOT! What I said was, the mainstream right wing shelters a SUBSET of fascists within their fold. That the Republicans in the USA have some ethnic diversity (not much*) doesn't evaporate the fact that many Republicans are racists, and no small number of them would split off and become a defined fascist party IF THEY HAD THE BENEFIT OF THE UK's PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM. As our system buries all but the big two parties, every time, in national and state politics, the fascists figure their best chance lies in operating from within the larger, more powerful Republican fold.

As for Nation of Islam voting for Obama, I can't speak to that- they probably did. But I expect their reasons to do so, if they did, didn't have anything to do with political thought and everything to do with the chance to put the first black man in the White House, simple as that.

*You can't say that because there are black, or gay Republicans the Republican party doesn't also harbor fascist-leaning types. I can't figure out why gays would want to be included in a party that clearly seeks to suppress their civil rights, but people can often be contradictory and hard to figure out.
European political groups are more broken apart and clearly defined than American ones. Yes, there is a Green party and a Communist party and all the others here in the states, but they are so marginalized as to be virtually nonexistent, at least in terms of having any actual numbers in elected office.
