 German government moves to ban neo-Nazi party What are the consequences of banning the NPD?
The most important step towards combating the NPD and all other extreme right-wing organisations is to build a new workers party that gives priority to the interests of the broadest layers of the population, instead of the rich and influential, i.e., one that is based on a socialist perspective.
It is precisely because all of the democratic parties are towing the same line in all essential political issues and have completely subordinated themselves to the interests of a rich elite that the extreme right wing is able to channel growing social discontent down a racist path.
As a rule, the Constitution's provision for banning parties is justified with the concept of “vigilant democracy”, meaning that never again should democracy stand by defenceless as it is destroyed by its enemies, as in Germany in the early 1930s.

 The Horst Mahler File
At a press conference in Bruchsal near Karlsruhe last Saturday, Mahler—in his own words an “opponent of the party-state”—called on all those for whom “Germany was close to their hearts”, to “strengthen the patriotic front, by publicly joining the NPD without consideration for the consequences for their personal fate”.
Mahler's membership application to the NPD followed a weeks-long campaign for a prohibition of the party.
