Man, you don’t even know what facism means. Parts of my family survived national socialism in Austria, communism in Russia, and some fled from east Germany to west Germany a week before the wall was build. Leaving everything behind for a third time in their life.

Don’t use facism as a term if you have no idea what it is. Because the AfD is not a facist party. Some members (very few, but more than in other parties) might be considered racist. Their political belief ist rather libertarian. They are claiming to be for a system similar to the Swiss. At the same time they are advocating for highly conservative values (family, work, immigration and belief). So the AfD could be considered a highly konservative and tiny bit libertarian party. And still. Comparing the AfD to the Democratic Party in the US, then the AfD suddenly looks like left leaning. Just take a look at immigration laws by the Democratic Party.

And now addressing your claim that the CDU/CSU are right leaning conservatives: They are mild conservatives at best. The party changed a lot under Merkels influence. Their values are very similar to the slightly more konservative ÖDP (a clone party of die Grüne with more competent personnel - highly educated people).

And yes, Germany therefore is left leaning. As I already said. Germany is ultra left leaning from a US standpoint. And taking a look at the rest of Europe, one quickly realised that Germany is as well more left leaning than 80% of Europe. Even the Scandinavians are voting increasingly for right wing parties. Much more so than Germans.

This is also supported by the financial situation of the average citizen.

German citizens are on average much poorer than Italians for example. Even though Italy is less financially stable than Germany. This is due to their political beliefs. Germans are far more willing to pay more in taxes than Italiens for example.
