Kiel, Germany - German authorities on Tuesday swooped on the far-right group Combat 18 in the northern state of Schleswig-Holstein, raiding 50 homes and other meeting points and capturing several suspects, police said.

"The main culprits were detained," a police spokesperson said, adding that the "hard core" of the group included 10 extremists.

More than 300 police officers carried out the operation.

The suspects are being investigated on charges of "formation of a politically motivated criminal organisation".

1. Thank goodness there is a socialist government in Germany

2. Schroeder is NOT a socialist. He's pretty moderate.

He gets a lot of criticism for abandoing the more liberal politics of his youth.

This guy is so in favor of markets regulated effectively so that they can grow and spread more wealth among ALL the classes, it's makes me laugh to hear him called a socialist.

I know the right wing wants to redefine moderation as socialism. But, let's be honest with ourselves about the difference between socialism and what amounts to liberalism today.
