Your disclaimer is a tad on the mild side. This is a gross, and purposeful misrepresentation of facts.
Elaborate?
Those organizations were labeled as terrorists by the US. This means companies even remotely tied to US services can’t work with them unless they want to get hit by sanctions for supporting (supposedly) terrorist organizations. In case of banks this means no access to credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) or PayPal which is effectively a death sentence. So German banks are closing the accounts of these organizations. However, this is not on behalf of the German government but the US. So blaming Germany as a state is highly misleading.
I opened the article. I saw that its something about the DKP. I closed the article. These Putin loving idiots can get stuffed for all I care.
Rote Hilfe and Anarchist Black Cross Dresden is the more relevant part, way beyond the Antifa Ost-case.
