Yes, I was referering to the (now dead) Moelleman, and o.k maybe it is a little bit unfair, but they do have had unpleasant involvments (including attempts to overtake and vote out of the current leadership) with right wingish characters.

I agree with your comment.

Although "attempts to overtake and vote out of the current leadership" seems to indicate that the current leadership doesn´t support such "involvements".
(By the way media articles before the election reported that neo-nazis were trying to infiltrate the "Linkspartei" too.)

But you should realize that people could make equally unfair comparisons about Schroeder.
Like his "friendship" with Putin. Democracy in Russia anyone? Weapons sales to China?
Are these pleasant involvements?

My hunch is that many "naive" youngsters of the "Linkspartei" don't realize that they come easily close to neo-nazi-like argumentations. I was pretty stunned about that.

Not to mention the fact that IIRC the "Linkspartei" already declared before the election that they would be an opposition party regardless of the outcome of the election.

Why vote for a party that simply says that they´re opposed to something and wouldn´t try to fix it?

It´s an awful result!
To repeat myself. :)
