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 de-nazify after World War II.
