Last year’s elections saw a resurgence for Germany’s socialist party Die Linke. In an interview, coleader Ines Schwerdtner explains how the party is seeking to expand beyond current left-wing voters to reach broader parts of the working class.
Main issue i see is the hard wired indoctrination of center-right to right-wing talking points which are beeing blasted through every media channel for decades. Most people share the very same issues but for some reason the conclusion for a lot of them is to kick downwards(edit:/on their peers) instead strengthening the economical class their part of.
Especially in the past i didnt share the same opinions as Die Linke when it eg came to foreign policy. But it still was the only party which actually wanted to do or did something for me and my class.
Well fingers crossed they figure out a way to win back working-class germans. But tbh i’m really pessimistic when it comes to that sadly.
