minus-squarevarnia@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·7 days agoChange to what? The current situation looks like this: The conservatives (CDU) are currently in charge on an anti-labor and no progress route Socialists (SPD) are in coalition with conservatives and do not oppose Ecologists (Grüne) are hated with only 14% Communists (Linke) are barely visible these days (10%) because of internal conflicts Fascists (AfD) are leading in election researches This doesn’t look good in any way. The conservatives know very well that no matter what they do, they will be in the next government…

minus-squareAnivia@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 days agoThey are right leaning conservatives that happily bend over for CDU, but pretend to be a workers party. Calling “Die Linke” communist is also extremely disingenuous. Taxing the rich and capping rent are not communism
minus-squareJumi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-26 days agoExactly, Die Linke is what the SPD is supposed to be or was many many decades ago.
