    they don’t want to support ukraine with weapons, so Putin can do what he wants. so they’re not directly supporting the bully, but are actively against helping the victim defend itself

    it’s also noteworthy that Die Linke is partially the successor to the SED, which was the only party in the GDR. make of this what you want

      the successor to the SED

      That mantle has mostly been taken by the BSW these days. Anyone who pines for the “good old days” of the GDR are flocking to them.

        That’s not entirely true, Die Linke has accepted the BSW part and their leader Sarah Wagenknecht for years on end. They knew what she was all about and did not care. If it wasn’t for the BSW part leaving on their own, they would still accept them for the votes.

        Furthermore, Die Linke still has no interest in dealing with their inglorious past, e.g. they still hail the last SED leader Gregor Gysi.
