The vice-president of the court said that the party’s political concept was incompatible with the German constitution’s guarantee of human dignity.
Germany’s highest court ruled on Tuesday that a small far-right party will not receive state funding for the next six years because its values and goals are unconstitutional and aimed at destroying the country’s democracy.
In its judgment, the Federal Constitutional Court wrote that Die Heimat, formerly known as the National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD), “continues to disregard the free democratic basic order and, according to its goals and the behaviour of its members and supporters, is aimed at its elimination”.
Presiding Judge Doris Koenig, the court’s vice-president, explained the unanimous decision by saying that the party’s political concept was incompatible with the guarantee of human dignity as defined in Germany’s constitution, the Basic Law.
I wish we could implement this in the US.

No you don’t. As bad as the American Republican party might be, they are not THIS bad.
From the NPD wikipedia page:
Sounds exactly like the GOP. They want to pull the US out of NATO and want a return to the confederacy.
That’s because they are funded by the same people.
Can you elaborate on the “the GOP wants to return to the confederacy” thing? As you can probably tell I am not American, don’t really follow your politics that much. Referencing anything in particular? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it.
Anyway, I feel like you have kinda overlooked my last point, where NPD is openly claiming areas in the borders of their neighbours. That’s a pretty big deal, coming from a neo nazi party in the country that started WW2. And I don’t recall reading about the GOP having similar policies.
Except for the anti-zionist thing (the American GOP is seemingly Zionist and antisemitic at the same time) and the German-specific stuff, this sounds a lot like Republicans.
They’re Evangelic pro-Rapture Zionists, not pro-Jewish security Zionists.
Really? You want the Supreme Court to determine which political organizations are ineligible for participation in the democracy?
Did you read the article? Because that’s not what I’m agreeing with.
Seems like this is just for state funding, not dissolving the party.
So, it doesn’t really apply at all to the US?
What point are you even trying to make?
Top level comment is dumb.
Well, you can’t even formulate why it’s dumb.
Is it because you feel stupid that it wasn’t the gotcha you thought it was, or is it because you’re stupid and didn’t read the article correctly?
