Should Golden Dawn, Jobbik, the NPD and other such neonazi parties be banned

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

yes, IMO.

[Murica!]

Yes, and their supporters destroyed.

[Zioneer]

A lot of them support violence towards certain groups, so yes.

[All Along The Watchtower]

But what about Free Speech??

[DC Al Fine]

No, I'm not about to restrict political activities just because I think they are reprehensible. That's a path I don't want to go down. Besides if they are actually that violent, you can always arrest them for... being violent

[Horus]

I think banning them would make them more popular, no?

[DavidB.]

Yes, these three parties should definitely be banned. However, it is hard to say at what point parties cross the (thin) line.

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

In countries without absolute free speech, yes. Along with all totalitarian communist parties.

[Murica!]

I think banning them would make them more popular, no?

Not if we permanently remove all those that support them.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Yes. Opponents of Democracy do not deserve ita protections.

[Cassius]

Yes.

[ElectionsGuy]

No

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

All political parties should be banned and power vested in a hereditary monarch (normal).

I think banning them would make them more popular, no?

You could think that, but would you be right? If Jobbik had been been banned in the outset, would the current Hungarian political scene be so noxious?

I'm uncomfortable at the idea of allowing space in our legislatures to the spewers of hate-speech. I understand to the North Americans the issue is more abstract, but we are allowing what are effectively criminal enterprises a platform.

[Mr. Smith]

Yes

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

No (normal, freedom of speech, etc).

[ingemann]

Yes or it would be worse with the precedence of banning parties having been created.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I too is uncomfortable with the idea that people in parliament having difference opinion than me, but the problem with banning people with non-mainstream political view is that you never know when it's your views who's seen as outside the mainstream, and there's no better way to deal with views you disagree with than engage in discussion with them.

Of course I think if it can be proven that a party engage in violence (like Golden Dawn does) they should be banned, but no one should be banned for just being horrible people.

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

Fighting Fascism by restricting free speech, nothing ironic here!

[SWE]

wow so deep imo

maybe antifa are the true fascists lol

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Yes. Opponents of Democracy do not deserve ita protections.

These parties would argue that if you are going to ban parties that oppose democracy, you would start with those who support the usurpation of it by globalism and international institutions such as the EU.

I mean, Fascism is characterized by political repression and banning Fascist speech would be a form of political repression.

[PJ]

The definition of fascism is not "anything repressive."

I know, but it's still ironic.

Sure, that's exactly the kind of bullsh*t a neonazi would spew.
