    I love how this is (mis)used to dismiss EU critics as “far-right”, although communists were always against the EU as well.

      1. The statement is from a member of the far right AfD party.

      2. “Communist” parties are mostly just right wing parties with a different aesthetic.

        1. Yes, it is, but it has become common practice in Germany to automatically portray things that the AfD also wants as “far-right demands”. That is, of course, utter nonsense.
        2. No, they are not.
