    Wikipedia article

    Resource Type: Article
    Als Autonome Nationalisten (AN) bezeichnen sich zumeist jugendliche Neonazis aus den Reihen der freien Kameradschaften in Deutschland. Sie greifen seit etwa 2002 bei ihrem Auftreten und ihren Aktionsformen bewusst auf das Vorbild der politisch linken autonomen Bewegung zurück. Autonome Nationalisten zeichnen sich durch eine direkte Übernahme und Umwandlung des Kleidungsstils und der Aktionsformen der linksradikalen Autonomen aus. Sie treten bei Demonstrationen weitgehend geschlossen in einheitlicher schwarzer Kleidung, bestehend aus schwarzen Windbreakern mit Kapuze, Kapuzenpullovern und Baseball-Kappen, auf.

    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2012
    Paul Levi’s name is almost unknown today outside a small community of specialised historians. But in the years 1919 and 1920 he was well known in Germany and abroad as the chair of the young Communist Party of Germany (KPD). He would become the most controversial figure in the German Communist movement. He was mainly responsible for building the KPD from a relatively small organisation in early 1918 into a truly mass party.

  7. In Dresden, PEGIDA meets opposition
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2015
    PEGIDA's quick growth derives largely from the many fears, especially in eastern Germany, about the scarcity of decent, steady jobs, about constant rent hikes and dwindling hopes about having enough to live on when they retire. Echoing past fascists, today's "pied pipers" try to deflect such fears and resentment against refugees.

  9. Die Linke: Ten Years On
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2016
    Political organizations, particularly those committed to radical change, face their greatest tests in times of crisis. In 1914, German social democracy, the international socialist movement’s crown jewel, was brought to its knees by its inability to confront the outbreak of World War I. Two decades later, German Communism’s ultra-leftism proved similarly impotent in the face of the growing Nazi threat, and Europe's most powerful laboUr movement was decimated within a couple of years.
  10. Other Voices: The Connexions Newsletter - November 11, 2017
    Left Parties

    Resource Type: Serial Publication (Periodical)
    Published: 2017
    In recent years, there have been repeated attempts to build left political parties and coalitions, i.e. parties to the left of the established social democratic parties which have long become part of the neoliberal capitalist mainstream. Left parties have emerged out of mass movements in countries like Spain (Podemos), Germany (Die Linke), and Greece (Syriza). In Latin America, in the last two decades, left movements or parties have formed governments in Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, and Uruguay. What these new left parties/movements have in common is a strategy of engaging in grassroots organizing and also running in elections. They all describe themselves as socialist, though in many cases their programs are more reminiscent of what social democrats used to advocate decades ago: reforms that would tame and manage capitalism rather than abolish it. Their ultimate vision may be a world without capitalism, but their immediate proposals are more modest and incremental, though still significantly to the left of the neo-liberal consensus.

    Resource Type: Serial Publication (Periodical)

    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 1921
    If a Communist Party is to be built up again in Germany, then the dead of central Germany, Hamburg, the Rhineland, Baden, Silesia and Berlin, not to mention the many thousands of prisoners who have fallen victim to this Bakuninist lunacy, all demand in the face of the events of the last week: “Never again!”
  13. Paul Levi: A Luxemburgist Alternative?
    A review of In the Steps of Rosa Luxemburg: Selected Writings of Paul Levi

    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2012
    Among the adversaries of capitalism, some have argued that a revolution could have been achieved differently and better in the spirit of Rosa Luxemburg, who wrote a critique of the Bolsheviks’ undemocratic policies as early as 1918. Paul Levi, Luxemburg’s lawyer, briefly her lover, her follower, and from 1919 to 1921 her successor at the head of German Communism, was the first to defend a Luxemburgist alternative to Bolshevism.

    Vorschläge für eine offensive Strategie der LINKEN

    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2016
    In den nächsten Jahren wird sich entscheiden, in welche Richtung sich diese Gesellschaft bewegt. Sie steht an einem Scheideweg: Zwischen rechter Hetze und neoliberaler Konkurrenz auf der einen Seite, Demokratie, Solidarität und sozialer Gerechtigkeit auf der anderen Seite. Werden größere Teile der Erwerbslosen, Prekären, Geringverdienenden und die abstiegsbedrohte Mittelschicht sich den Rechtspopulisten zuwenden und damit den Weg für eine noch unsozialere, autoritäre und antidemokratische Entwicklung bereiten? Oder gelingt es, Konkurrenz und Entsolidarisierung zurückzudrängen und ein gesellschaftliches Lager der Solidarität zu bilden?
