How Nazism Survived in Germany

Jun 30, 2023 | Right-wing extremism has seen a steep rise in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Meanwhile, the state is ramping up its repression against left-wing activists like Lina E., who has gotten over 5 years in prison for allegedly attacking Nazis. The capitalist crisis facilitates a dangerous period, which makes it necessary to look at why Nazism is still alive in Germany, and how the country, in its fight against communism, (deliberately) failed to denazify after World War II.
