    Story time! CW right extremist violence

    Libs don't know that punching Nazis works

    Back after the germany-cool reunification the former GDR states had a trouble with Nazis, I ignore those within the police force but focus on unorganized ones.

    The organized right did quickly try to leverage their position and targeted young people especially i.e. by financing summer holidays, “national” (read right extremist) youth centers and alike. Some LIB’s that did social work at that time were proponents of “accepting youth work” which means to say “It is fine that you are a Nazi who expresses wishes to kill people, I hear you, I am here for you” (which didn’t work out well). In any case for various reasons the Nazis did use plenty violence and kill / torture people, if you were marginalized you were a higher likelyhood target. The police didn’t do a lot, the years are called “Baseballschläger Jahre” literally baseball bat years, cause that was among the most prominent weapons of them.

    1990 till … somewhat in the early 2000s https://nitter.net/search?q=%23Baseballschlägerjahre

    Now what did slowly but surely create security for the left-unity-2, for an-tifa, flag-genderqueer-pride flag-trans-pride rainbow-has, :bipoc:, marx-goth comrades and friends?

    Antifascist self defense. This is what worked and secured physical safety and in parts still does. The actual story is this:
    Local Nazis punched punks and leftists kids for years, antifa self defense is organized, a Nazi aggressor is beaten down, the libs decry the violence and yet after that attack in that small city the Nazi attacks mostly stopped. The violence of the years before was not enough for the libs to really care, the police didn’t care and more likely targeted you, but the self defense was suddenly wrong.

    Those things happened around that time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rostock-Lichtenhagen_riots

    The germany-cool did as result of those racist pogroms decide to remove Asylum as fundamental individual right from its basic law (labeled “compromise”, a compromise with racists is pretty much always a compromise against the oppressed), which was written in there due to the experiences of Nazi Germany that marginalized always need places to escape to. However after the reunification and the fall of the Soviet Union Germany’s parties (CDU+FDP+Social Democrats of New Labour type) quickly decided that this was no longer true. Mostly to gather racist votes and for nationalist reasons.
