Are you arguing that banning Nazi memorabilia is leading to the rise of far-right parties?

I think these two things are completely disconnected from each other. What we're talking about here is legislation, and legislation has not slipped towards censoring free speech more and more in the last seventy years (in France and Germany).

No I'm not. Your statement is so far off that I can't help myself but wonder how did you arrive to this conclusion?!

Because if those things are disconnected, then your own comment was apparently off-topic. You posted a comment about the rise of far-right parties as an answer to one about the slippery slope of censorship.
