      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.

        Yes, but they kind of support giving Putin everything he wants and are willing to push Ukraine under the bus to aphese Putin. Sounds like they are pretty close to Putin.

              Yeah their Außenpolitik sucks, but they aren’t paid or controlled Putin freaks, that’s the AfD and the BSW.

                they might not be controlled by Putin, but they might as well be. this only means that they’re having positions favorable to Putin voluntarily and out of conviction.

                whatever their motive might be, in the end it amounts to the same thing that BSW and AfD want as well.
