You mixed it up, the bavarian police isn't fighting off/investigating AfD. Zwiebelfreunde (Friends of Onion) forwarded donations (!) from Germany into the US based RiseUp. Latter hosts a website calling for protests against the far right AfD.

Right. If anything, bavaria is illegally overreaching here in an effort to protect the AfD. Given the political development of the governing party of bavaria (the CSU developed into a right wing party and is fighting for destabilizing the moderate government) this police action is probably a political friendship offering between the two.

The stance of the CSU has always been to be the right most party in Bavaria. The AfD is their enemy for fishing votes at the right end if the spectrum that the CSU regards as their own. Why do you think we had the crisis in the federal government on behalf of CSU politicians pushing a dangerously right wing agenda?

So they were most likely funneling money through international channels to support ANTIFA activists?

If they were doing the same for the other side - i.e. funneling right wing money to support NAZI activist it would be the same kind of stupid.

If you don't want to get your servers to be raided just don't side-hustle as an extremist shaddow financier.

Just so you know: In Germany, Antifa is an umbrella term for a lot of left wing projects which try to build social structures for (mostly) peaceful reform. People like me - being antifascist - have been active in the political landscape for more than forty years. Mobilizing against neonazis works and has been pretty damn necessary in Eastern Germany since the collapse of the GDR.

Unfortunately in the US, activists have been labeled as terrorists even though their organizing works as intended [1] - without fatalities.

We all remember what peaceful Antifa reform looks like from the Hamburg G20 pictures.

No. That's not even the claim by the prosecution.
