I think this article tries very hard to be against the NPD. Here's what I got out of it:

The NPD is nationalist. No problem. I'm a nationalist too.
The NPD opposes abortion. Me too.
The opponents of the NPD want to outlaw "bad" political speech and crush the NPD. I think that's wrong.

The article says the NPD is anti-semitic. So far, I see no evidence. As far as I can see, that would be the only grounds on which I would oppose the NPD.

Do the National Front in France and the NPD in Germany have any position more extreme than advocating the banning of a party?

As anticommunist as I am I do not advocate the banning of the CP-USA or its larger cousin, the so-called Democratic Party.

>>The NPD's geopolitics are shown on a map of Germany from 1938 - including parts of the country lost after World War II to Poland and Russia - which is available as a silver coin to raise funds for the movement. The map has a sword across it with the words, "The Reich, our Mission".

Sixty years of Liberation Lies - End the Cult of Guilt, is the NPD's motto for the demonstration.<<

...Sounds like Nazis to me. There's nationalism, then there's German Nationalism. It's not the same. The opponents of the NPD are not trying to ban outlaw political speech, they are trying to stop the rise of a fourth Reich, or the equivalent of Islamic fundamentalism.

The NPD is antisemitic.I should know, I was born and raised in Germany,they are responsible for many attacks on
foreigners.I never understood why the German government allowed them to organize.They are no good.They are radical
leftists and want to relive the third Reich.These people have been around for a while,but they never had the strength to influence politics or law makers until they organized themselves.The worst antisemitism comes out of the eastern part of Germany.

"The article says the NPD is anti-semitic. So far, I see no evidence."

from the article; "A commentary in the party newspaper, "Deutsche Stimme" (German Voice), provides just one example: "The Torah is the original document of Jewish hatred of (other) nations."
