The SPD has abolished itself. Basically, that Schröder character, who has recently risen to international notoriety for being in Putin's pocket, reinvented the SPD as a centrist party (modeled after Tony Blair's "New Labour") in the early 2000s. They subsequently implemented the harshest social cutbacks in German post-WW2 history. This has led to them losing their credibility as a social democrat party, and they haven't really changed since. That they scored relatively well in the last federal election was mostly due to the CDU picking Armin Laschet, who can best be described as a sad joke, as their frontrunner.
So does Germany have a credible good left party? Or are you guys now stuck with right and far right?
The green party is center left, and they are doing many things right. That's why they are the primary target of the ever growing right.
Currently, there is a giant hole gaping on the moderate left of the political spectrum.
Maybe the leftist party might be able to pull their head out of their own arse now that their most prominent Putin bootlicker and antivaxxer left the party and went on to singlehandedly prove the horseshoe theory right by founding a ~~party~~ instituionalised personality cult of her own that is residing on both the left and right end of the political spectrum at once.
Wait the left in Germany is pro Putin?
Some are. No idea why, I suppose it's some weird Soviet Union nostalgia paired with utter stupidity.
