    The party ‘die Linke’ used to be ‘die Linkspartei’. Die Linkspartei was a Union of the West German party WSAG and the PDS. The PDS is the direct successor of the SED, which was THE communist party in the GDR. Since the successor parties no longer explicitly described themselves as communist, the article probably calls them post-communist

      Still a bad attempt at framing this party as something the average German shouldn’t vote for.

      This is at the moment the only party that actually tries to enact some „left“ policies. And yes, there are some crazy people there… but which party hasn’t?
