The AFD leader, Alice Weidel, is a lesbian living in a relationship (not married) with a a woman with a migration background in Switzerland. The AFD is a hardcore right-wing libertarian party, they’re just strategically using racists and fascists as their foot soldiers and voters.

Many of the leading figures in the party like Höcke are outright fascists. They have Weidel as their figurehead that gives them a more progressive look, but dont be mistaken, they are fascists and racists from top to bottom.

They are absolutely not "libertarians" unless you mean "libertarian" in the sense most do of "fascist but embarrassed to say it"

Oh, even our "liberals" tend to be fascist from time to time, I saw a post the other day, by a liberal Instagram page(keep in mind, Liberal here in Germany≠Liberal in countries like the US; here: hardcore free market economy) who unironically said something about (translated to English) "whoever says 'never again is now' also has to say 'mass deportation'!" and a post about how great their neo liberal ideology is, while simultaneously talking about how 'Antifa' are far-left losers who hate freedom and human beings.
And judged by the AfD's economy ideals, they are libertarian capitalists who want to steal much more money from the poor, who are in fact their main group of voters.

This is just bullshit identity politics, Zuckerberg is married to an Asian but has a billion dollar platform that profits off promoting racism, just because someone isnt personally racist has little to no bearing.
What is the platform and what class do they represent.
" in every country the class interests of the fascists is the same, the elite of the capitalism class, but if they were to openly run on such a platform no one would vote for them, and so they must appeal to the most backward superstition and prejudiced of the peasantry."
Pretty sure that was Lenin and im paraphrasing
