Germany’s AfD is NOT “far-right”

Odd, isn't it?.  Antifa (above) in America and Europe are lily-white and dress
in scary black, balaclavas, and they beat up people.  But these are the good guys...

LETTER TO BBC:

You always preface mention of Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party with the the words "far-right".  Why?

In what way is Germany's AfD "far-right" when its policies are those of the Left, according to this New York Times article? Higher wages, safer pensions and extended unemployment benefits, all are on the AfD platform. 

These are Leftist policies. Not Rightist, let alone "far-right". 

The only point of difference from the Left is on immigration. On which AfD is concerned that 80% (EU figures) are economic migrants, effectively jumping the queue. Breaking the law, in other words. Moreover, AfD are understandably worried that these latest immigrant streams are from cultures hostile to the West's liberal values. 

For that one difference they're labelled "far-right"?

That seems rather wrong. Not Right.
