> Soviet apologia or imagery

Is that actually a bigger problem in the EU than it has been in the past?

There have always been admirers of the USSR in every country, but if I recall, they've always been a tiny percentage compared to Nazi apologists, aside from Russia. I also don't recall any of them being outright racist and calling for wholesale destruction in the way that other extremists have done.

I could be wrong there - I'm not a huge consumer of Nazi or Soviet propaganda.

Europe is full of active self-identifying communist parties, many with seats in the various parliaments. Or how about the yearly ritual of masked French far-left activists wreaking havoc on the streets. Why is no one banning these violent extremists?
