How do you know they're "less nazi" and not just self censoring? Also if that's what people want isn't it less democratic to suppress it?

Things like free speech and voting are more a service to the elites for this reason IMO.



No, it is not less democratic to suppress movements whose explicit goal is dictatorship and abuse of other people.


They are in fact self censoring. I live there and many people are just Nazis. It's illegal to be a Nazi, but the law works on facts you can prove in court, and the only way you can prove that is if they, for example, yelled Heil Hitler, or did the salute, or waved a swastika flag. As long as they're not too obvious about it, it's de facto allowed. Some people are still stupid enough to do the obvious signs of course.
