MODERATORS
First of all: the NPD was never banned, since it's to small.
Banning the AfD effectively destroys it and buys more time to really solve the problem. Banning parties can be very effective. The ban of the KPD was so effective that even 70 years later there isn't any established communist party in Germany.
Well, I remembered that wrong. But I don't believe that banning the AfD will solve anything short, mid- or longterm. Times are quite different today than there were 70 years ago, so that's not a great comparison.
I really wish there was an easy and complete solution to getting rid of the AfD and their ideology once and for all, or at least to a degree, where these kinds of parties don't spring up again just a few years later to gain popularity once more.
The resulting radicalization of their voter base would cause quite a bit of damage, I am sure.
