As a German citizen, the amount of times I heard from the "Piratenpartei" can be counted on one hand. In the early 2000s that party suffered immensely from being hijacked by Neo Nazis, losing a lot of support from voters. Since the Nazis went off and joined the AFD, the Pirate Party is more or less silent.

The worst part was when they hardly commented on Edward Snowden and the NSA leaks!




Weird, to me the Piratenpartei always appeared as being a single issue digital rights party mixed with very far left politics. Right now their most recent issue seems to be people being mean on the Internet, which certainly seems to be more in line with the SPD, who seek to punish people for even the most banal insults.


Yeah, what policts of the pirate party is/was even remotely "nazi".
