Voice Of The Revolution Radio

Germany has always occupied a special place in the Marxist imaginary. In 1918, the insurgent KPD (at that time known as the Spartacus League), attempted to bring the Socialist Revolution to the West. They failed-- & it wasn't just Fascists who fought them on the streets. The Social Democratic government-- the movement they split from but a few years back-- was responsible for helping the Right crush the Bavarian & German Soviets while they were still in their infancy. Fast forward to today: Die Linke is a political party in united Germany, one that claims the mantle of the Socialist Unity Party of East Germany, & also the heady mantle of the KPD forward in German politics. But can they live up to this revolutionary past? Up until this current election cycle, Die Linke has never officially supported an SPD (Social Democrats) presidential candidate, but they have stated their intention to do so in the 2017 federal elections, while at the same time calling for radical moves such as the dissolution of NATO.
