Leftists want to 'overcome the system' - In Stalin's footsteps

The article discusses concerns raised by the author, Mathias Brodkorb, regarding the German Left Party's (Die Linke) rhetoric and ideology. He argues that the party is adopting stalinist logic, portraying civil society as enemies and fascists. The piece references the ongoing debate about whether Germany is entering 'Weimar-era' conditions similar to those preceding the rise of the Nazi Party, with warnings often directed at the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). However, Brodkorb claims his perspective has shifted after recent developments, suggesting that the Left Party's approach could contribute to such a scenario. The article includes information about Luigi Pantisano becoming the new federal chairman of Die Linke.
