Send it to a German fellow I know, he called it ragebait and dismissed the org as “originating from DDR as a youth org brainwashing children for totalitarian regime”.
The German left is probably as broken and coopted as in the US. Most didn’t even care when a court essentially declared anti-capitalism of any kind unconstitutional by pointing to the constitutions enshrining of property rights.
Junge Welt is one of the most serious and consistently dependable leftist publications in Germany. They have an excellent track record of being on the correct side of historical and contemporary political issues. What sets them apart from other ostensibly “leftist” but more system-compatible media is that they are actually principled anti-imperialists and not socdem euro-chauvinists, and because of this liberals need to smear them by association with the DDR (though for me personally as a communist that is a badge of honor and only serves to reinforce their credibility and their anti-imperialist credentials).

Welp.

And it seems the citizens believe it to be a protection of democracy
I hope he’s right because this is not a good look…

Well this is good to know, but that also cements my fears which was bound to happen eventually.
Also, fun fact: every time I see DDR I read it as Dance Dance Revolution.
Same, dw. Supernova was my shit.
