sup from Germany

[Rosa Partizan]

hey, I'm a 27-year-old leftist from Germany with plenty of sympathy for communism and a very convinced feminist. I was born in the Social Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, but moved to Germany when I was 5. In one year, I will be completing my Master's degree in American Literature and Linguistics, Spanish Linguistics and Political Science. Feel free to ask whatever comes to your mind.

Welcome :)

If you have political questions, you can ask them in the Learning forum. That's why it's there after all!

If you have questions about your account, don't hesitate to send me a PM or ask here.

What attracted you to your politics? What's the left like in your corner of Germany?

Hi welcome to RevLeft :) please enjoy your stay!

Welcome! :)

Some years ago, when I was in my late teenage years or even very early 20ies, I wasn't that much interested in politics. It all started with some commitment for Amnesty International, which wasn't politically motivated at all. At one point I realized that so much suffering, nuisance, hunger etc is a direct effect of capitalism and inequitable distribution of goods. Having realized that, I was able to see all that social and societal injustice in my own country. It was rather a process than a sudden insight.

Concerning the leftist "scene" in Germany, I've read that the user BIAZED has written something about our "Antideutsche", translated as Anti-Germans. By the way, he showed me this board :) However, they're just a small part, not that representative. Their counterpart are the Anti-Imperialists, I guess everyone knows what anti-imperial ideas are. The rest is kind of shattered, no label to put on it. Many committed leftists are active in "Jugendzentren" or "autonome Zentren", which are autonomous venues free of racism, sexism, anti-semitism, homophobia etc. Demonstrations are planned, punk concerts are organized, there are free language courses for immigrants etc. And of course you meet people alike. Of course, each of these venues is a bit different.

German leftists tend to have a more positive view of Israel than the rest of the (leftist) world. I wouldn't say it's all of them, definitely no, but at least there's some tendency. I myself would prefer a two-state solution under certain circumstances and conditions. On a scale from 1 to 10, 1 meaning that I despise the state of Israel to 10, that I support it unconditionally, I would give myself maybe a 6. I know this is not a very popular opinion here, but I will eventually come back to that in some other threads.

[PhoenixAsh]

Berlin is awesome. Just like London only completely different ;) If you ever get the chance to go there you definitely should. It is an experience.

Also...a belated welcome to the person with the long ass user name....FWRTW

[Rosa Partizan]

Gonna change it, just haven't figured out a better nick yet.

as a kraut myself, i have to say i dont like berlin very much, i was there several times and it is just grey, depressing and way to big. maybe its because i grew up in a small town, but berlin isnt really my thing at all.

[The Jay]

Per Levy knows all. Also, hi!

[Thirsty Crow]

Hi, and welcome.

Govoriš/poznaješ južnoslavenske jezike? Ako da, zdravo :lol:

[Rosa Partizan]

Da, pricam. Vazno mi je da taj jezik ne zaboravim. Otkud ti znas? :)

[Thirsty Crow]

Da, pricam. Vazno mi je da taj jezik ne zaboravim. Otkud ti znas? :)
Čudno bi bilo da zaboravim prvi jezik :grin:

Anyway, do check out zapadni balkan sub-forum, not much activity going on at the moment, but there are struggles cooking up in Bosnia so I'll probably post something about that later.
