Re: Gysi on the EU "rescue package" (4.00 / 4)
Why yes. Yes it is. After 30 years of Thatcherite ascendancy it seems like the epitome of radicalness. And Die Linke is the sort of very old school Social Democracy that insists on the democratic transformation of society towards socialism: the overthrow of capitalism

Not only that, Die Linke qualifies for state surveillance as an extremist organization.

The Left Party is a large enough party to have several streams, from positions not far from the 1998 SPD to Marxist-Leninists. As far as I can see, most of the leadership is indeed on the moderate end, though. In fact in government with the SPD in East German states, it did some austerity of its own.
