What I'm saying is that the conventionally accepted "common sense" like "racism is an extension of nationalism, which only occurs from the Right" is false i.e. don't assume these people are racist so that they must be far-right. They could well be Linkeparti supporters.
Espechially the old SED-cadre of the DDR consists of old racists. This is definitly true. Anyway they are dying out. The new lefties have no national connection anymore and are for sure free of any kind of racism.

I see what you mean now - I didn't get it from your first reply. A fair point. My post however was attempting to highlight the apparent irony of racist fascists claiming to be 'national socialists' when obviously socialism and fascism are traditional at opposing ends of the political spectrum.
