    Ah, yes, the horseshoe.

    I wouldn’t consider BSW as a classical left-wing party, though (also rejected by BSW, but I think smaller/new parties usually try to avoid classifying themselves in the left-right-spectrum). Sociopolitically, their positions appear (not much substance so far) to be more closely align with the conservative-/right-wing-end of the political spectrum.

      The comment you replied to doesn’t actually say BSW is left, just that they emerged from the left, specifically the part of the left that is mentally stuck in the GDR.
