I'm not German, I'm your friendly western neighbor. I don't know much about AfD, but why are they considered rightwing? The Nazi's where socialist (it's in the name). Are AfD hardcore capitalist?

A dirty moderate. I like a lot of things about both sides.

Just because it's in the name doesn't mean they nazis were socialist. They really weren't.

It doesn't take much to see that the AfD is a bunch of nazis. When germany celebrates liberation day, they mourn about the "day of defeat". They constantly demonstrate pure racism, they dream about killing immigrants and political opponents, they want to abolish democracy and their whole ideology consists of nothing else than pure hatred. It's no coincidence that they attract a whole bunch of people who openly consider themselves nazis. One of those morons once called himself the "friendly face of national socialism". Another one is fantasizing about deporting millions of people, which includes german citizens just because they don't like their skin colour or something.

If you can't see the clear fascist tendencies in AfD today, I'm pretty sure you would also have seen the NSDAP as a perfectly normal politcally party back then. I don't care about capitalism or communism and all that crap. But the very moment you try to take away basic human rights or try to sneak in some racist propaganda, that's when you cross a line and say goodbye to freedom and democracy. That is also what makes you a nazi. Not some dumbass economical stuff. =P

Left, because as an employee that's the only reasonable choice. In the grand scheme of things, left political parties are about the redistribution of wealth from the top to the bottom while right political parties are about the opposite. This, however, is commonly obfuscated by pushing other issues to the forefront. If you don't happen to belong to the top 10% wealthiest people in your country or if you aren't an employer, you have no reasonable rationale to vote for a right political party; if you think you do, you are probably gullible and have been manipulated.

A practical example of this in Austria is the climate bonus which is an automatic tax return to all citizens. Its purpose is to offset the rather new CO² tax, so in essence, the less damage you do to the environment, the less money it's going to cost you on a personal level. But even if you don't understand the reason, it's ~€200-300 you get from the state every year. This is a good thing and there can be no argument about it that it's good. In Austria we have five relevant parties on the national level; two of them are left, three of them are right. Unsurprisingly, all on the right were in favor of abolishing the climate bonus while all on the left were in favor of keeping it and raising it gradually in accordance with the raising CO² tax.

Our most recent election results gave us a coalition between left and right where right has significantly the upper hand, so the climate bonus was abolished and increased taxes on the rich were averted. So if this government stays in place for a full five years until the next election, I will have lost out on ~€1.500 in exchange for getting nothing of value. It's not that I am in desperate need of this money, but why should I forego getting it in order for multi-millionaires to have even more money when they already have way more than they need. It's such a terrible trade-off.

You speak like Europe is a whole country. I’m French and France is not socialist. We just have a social advantage : healthcare for everyone. 

I'm centre left. Current world of politics and media is weird to me.

I spent most of my time in the United Kingdom.  While living abroad I spent time at France, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Austria and croatia.  

I stand by my original statement.  Europe made me appreciate and love the US more.  I came back more right then when I left.  

Edit

Forgot about Switzerland, not sure how.  Murren was stunning.

If it helps my favorite good was French.  American food is god awful. 

I guess a moderate in my own country. I would be right leaning in the US. Would never be a progressive though. I just dont have it in me to be that mean all the time.

As long as you have conscience, it's very difficult to be on the right.
As long as you have money/land, it's very difficult to be on the left.
