If you can't beat them, kill them

The right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) should be outlawed and its leadership imprisoned, the founder of a German refugee rescue organization has claimed.

Axel Steier, the founder of the sea rescue Mission Lifeline NGO, made the remarks in a social media post on Thursday. He proposed that such a drastic measure was necessary for the sake of humanity.

“In the country of the perpetrators, it should not be taboo to ban the AfD and imprison the leadership, even if this deprives 20-40 percent of German voters of their opinion,” Steier posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“The persecution of Nazis is still a service to all of humanity,” he added.

Steier’s remarks are the latest in a long list of left-wing activists and mainstream politicians attempting to discredit the anti-immigration party which is currently surging in polls across the country.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Thursday said:

There are definitely enemies of democracy. We won’t be able to avoid taking a stand and saying that we’re defending democracy and the freedom we’ve achieved.
