Germany’s AfD party on Wednesday banned its leading candidate from appearing at EU election campaign events, after France’s main far-right party announced a split with the Germans over a slew of scandals involving the politician.

I thought calling somebody “not-a-nazi” would be okay, but guess I just gotta try to be better. Sorry, didn’t want to mess with the Grundgesetz.
I think you misunderstand me - surely being a member of an SS paramilitary group is a violation of the constitution?
Yeah, it was just a dumb joke. I’ll try harder next time.
No that’s impossible. The (there only ever was the SS, not an number of them) SS was the paramilitary arm of the NSDAP, the political party of Hitler. And it was dissolved with the Third Reich before the Grundgesetz was adopted.
It sounds like the constitution defines Nazism in narrower terms than I expected. That’s a shame.
You seem to be misunderstanding both the quote and the comment! No offense, i can see how it could be confusing.
What Krah said was meant in a historical context. Kind of a “not all SS-members were criminals”, basically downplaying the Nazis crimes.
The commenter sarcastically called him “totally not a nazi” for that statement.
No, there is no definition of Nazism in the Grundgesetz.
