    The rightwing extremist party of Germany, AfD, also has ties to Russia…

        Odd. I wish I could find some Foundations of Geopolitics to explain these things.

            You’re right about lemmy.ml, but I wouldn’t really call BSW left. It has some left position on labour, but besides that… Nope.

            And Die Linke seems to have gotten rid of Putin bootlickers with the departure of Sabra Wagenknecht and her peers.

            BSW is already evaluating their chances at a majority in coalition with AfD and who knows else, but certainly not with any leftist party. To consider them left is showing a fundamental lack of basic understanding of the German political landscape.

              They are left, tankies are left. And they are redfash tankies.

              And its not uncommon for faschistoids to work together, especially when they are both sponsored by Russia and China…

              They should both not be allowed to exist.

              They are. They are redfash. Talking about the horseshoe is one thing, but lets use the political Compass, they are peek Auth left and AFD is peek Auth right, they can work together to destroy democracy, wich is their long therm goal, or rather the goal of the Countries behind both parties. (Russia and China)

    The entire party is a Russian proxy. Same with the German right wing.

    Same goes for the left wing in France and BSW (left wing hardcore SED clone) in Germany.

    Fuck extremism! They will run our continent into the wall and just because they profit from it. Both sides are paid by China and Russia to destroy our Unity!

      BSW is no SED-Clone. BSW is a personal cult for Sahra Wagenknecht very populistic, pro workers ( which are left positions) but also pro putin and anti migration (which are all but left positions).

      Also, Die Linke (left wing party) has no ties to Russia since Wagenknecht and her peers left.

      And stop that “BoTh SiDeS” BS. It has no merit and is a false narrative.

        Sorry to bring it to you but bsw is still left, its called redfash or tankie. And yes both sides extremism leads to authoritarian shitholes.

        Oh and BSW being a SED clone is regarding Wagenknecht being a SED politician and her very close ties into the Kremlin.

          Honestly, this is why using only a left-right axis to describe politics is inadequate. If the term wasn’t prestressed, BSW would be literally National Socialist (but please don’t use that term, because, you know, Hitler, and she’s far from that).

          Oh and BSW being a SED clone is regarding Wagenknecht being a SED politician and her very close ties into the Kremlin.

          That’s oversimplifying if I’ve ever seen oversimplifying. To the point of disinformation. Wagenknecht wasn’t allowed to study because she clashed with the regime, was accused of a hunger strike during military training and joined SED *half a year before the Wall fell with the intention of reforming it. And licking Putin’s boots is not enough to be an SED clone.

          Dude, get your facts straight or shut it.

            Again, you need to learn politics, if you think national socialist means left you really need to take a history and a politics course.

            And as i said, SED and BSW are Authoritarian leftists, AFD is authoritarian right wing. Both of them can be considered as a version of faschism.

              Lol. I never said National Socialist was left, I said BSW is not left. It is not considered left in the german political landscape (except by right wing nutjobs like AfD).

              I got my political knowledge straight, you’re making stuff up.

              BSW has too many positions that are not considered left (their stance towards migration alone is all but left). And where are it’s authoritarian positions?

              You’re throwing around a lot of terms that don’t mean what you think they mean.

                People like you are why such extremism can root freely. You want to avoid calling them left because you are left yourself and believe they aren’t. They absolutely are. And you just don’t accept reality.

                  Instead of insinuating stuff, you could also bring arguments. But I guess you have none. It shows.
