The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has gained ground in three recent state elections, caused an uproar in the Thuringian parliament and triggering another debate on whether to ban the party outright.

Which country? What happened when they tried?

Argentina. Peronism got proscribed for ~20 years (1955-1973). It's a lot more complicated than that cause it actually was fascist vs conservatives*.

Ellected governments had little to no real power cause +50% of the people were not allowed to vote, so the faction that started winning power was the military. Every excuse was a good one to take down the government and bring up another dictatorship.

I'm not sure we can call Peronism fascist. While it was populist and nationalistic, it's missing that hallmark blood-and-soil (this land for our bloodline) aspect that really marks out fascist ideologies.

You can't really call yourself fascist if you're trying to say all your people are equal, you need to be trying to establish some sort of hierarchical order where these citizens are always better than those citizens.
