German AfD Chant “Alice” After Being Fined for Chanting Nazi “Alles” (Same Pronunciation)

Are Nazi jokes legal in Germany?

The AfD is trying to find out. The Nazis who run this modern Nazi party in Germany seem to relish the idea that their rise to absolute power can easily evade accountability, just like Hitler, using childish tricks and games.

German media and commentators have highlighted how it recalls the phrase “Alles für Deutschland” (Everything for Germany) a banned Nazi-era slogan, engraved on the daggers of Adolf Hitler’s paramilitaries. A state AfD leader, Bjoern Hoecke, has been fined for using those words.

Weidel’s spokesman Daniel Tapp said the “Alice für Deutschland” phrase is harmless and fitting for a party with a candidate called [Alles]….”

Robert Lambrou, an AfD politician in the state of Hesse, says if the phrase provokes – it does so by highlighting limits on freedom of expression in Germany [were lacking when Hitler rose to power].

Alice would have legally changed her name to Alles if she really believed there was no coincidental harm in the two words having the same pronunciation. If sounding the same is ok, why not spelled the same?

Come on Alice, do it. DO IT. Change the spelling of your name to Alles to show there’s no harm in anyone in calling you Alles für Deutschland.

The dagger with its simple slogan engraved on the blade is hugely symbolic and well known to Nazis. You can find one hanging as celebrated decoration on walls in Italian, Austrian and American homes today but not Germany… unless it misspelled Alles.

In related news, the AfD can’t spell Deutschland.
