German leftists agree historic deal to rule in Thuringia
Leftist parties in Germany have agreed a historic coalition deal which will see the first far-left regional president since the fall of communism.
Bodo Ramelow of the socialist Die Linke (Left party) is set to become state premier of Thuringia next month.
Die Linke, rooted in the old East German state Communist party, has never led a state government.
But all three coalition parties said they saw East Germany as a state that did not operate within the rule of law.
What is now Thuringia was part of East Germany during the Cold War but is at the heart of the reunified country.
calling die linke far left is pretty funny, especially if you actually look at their theory and praxis. they were juniorpartners of coalition gouverments before and that wasnt all that positiv to say at least. also calling the greens and the spd leftwing is almost an insult to the left-wing of capital.
anyway, nothing new nor anything exciting about this.

It is true that labor produces for the rich wonderful things – but for the worker it produces privation. It produces palaces – but for the worker, hovels. It produces beauty – but for the worker, deformity. It replaces labor by machines, but it throws one section of the workers back into barbarous types of labor and it turns the other section into a machine. It produces intelligence – but for the worker, stupidity, cretinism.

Die Linke openly embrace Keynesianism. Has the bourgeois political spectrum shifted so far to the right in recent times that Keynesianism is now considered far-left?!?!?
Didn't die linke use to have two "heads"? One ossie a little bit more radical and another wessie more centris, wasn't it?

That would be funny if it weren't the same misrepresentation being repeated day-in-and-day-out. If people writing this shit aren't going to inform themselves about the most rudimentary aspects of what communism actually is, I don't know anymore if they can be approached rationally.

"If he did advocate revolutionary change, such advocacy could not, of course, receive constitutional protection, since it would be by definition anti-constitutional."

well judging by the newspapers today, the liberal centrist paper "die zeit" says the spd was able to come out on top in the coalition discussions and the social liberal "taz"(wich is close to the greens" pretty much called the coalition tame and was wondering, in light of the tameness of the coalition, why conservatives/right winger/far-rightists are so against it. wich should tell everything what you can expect from a "far-left" party as die linke and from the other partys as the spd and greens.
