The serious answer is this: Nazis strive to replace democratic government with a fascist dictatorship. They wish to get rid of people they deem as their enemies. Anyone who tolerates people with ideology like this cannot be viewed as anything but the same as them. So, if your party has a few Nazis, it's all Nazis.

So how is it democracy to ban this party and harass its members again? Should Germans be concerned about other parties adopting fascist tactics to control who they can vote for?
>They wish to get rid of people they deem as their enemies.
So like the left, correct?

Nobody has presented me with proof that any Nazis are in AfD, and that there are no Nazis in other parties. I don't know if AfD is open like US political parties, where one can just claim to be a member. But unless someone is at least widely known to be an open Nazi, and the party registered them as a member with full knowledge of that (or at least refused to revoke membership of a known Nazi), it's all slander.
What is your take on the leadership of Ukraine having literal bonafide Nazis in it? Are they a concern of yours, or do you just accept what the "thought leaders" tell you?
After certain people have called Republicans in the US "Nazis" for the past 8 years based on nothing, I'm so done with people who pull out that word for anyone they disagree with. Pony up some proof or buzz off.
Look up paradox of tolerance.

Incorrect.
Regarding Nazis in Ukraine, I'm not sure how it relates to this. Certainly worrying if true. However their country was invaded over a decade ago and is in active war, so not sure how to compare with Germany at all.
First result when googling doesn't paint a nice picture: https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/dangerous-liais...
