when government banned them for a good reasons (in this case probably violence and antisemitism) they are unauthorized.

They did the same for the anti vaccer dipshits of the "querdenker" movement during the corona pandemic.

Yeah, love all the armchair political commentators on lemmy. I live in Berlin, what's happening in the Neukölln district of Berlin has nothing to do with peaceful protests. It's a whole bunch of "kill all Jews" mixed with a hefty dose of "burn it all!", and somehow it's always a giant mob of violent men in their twenties, who aren't exactly paragon of empathy and diversity, imagine that.

Every authoritarian government always has good reasons to ban demonstrations.

Ah yes, the authoritarian government of current day checks.notes Germany?

Fascism is what you do, not who you are.

These "protesters" are the actual fascists. They literally parrot ideas and shout slogans which were popular among the NSDAP, and throw molotov cocktails at synagogues.

Last time a German democracy accepted a movement like this as an equal among other political ideas, we ended up with the Third Reich.
