alt Hacker Newstheres a world of difference between a left party, even radical left like die linke, and ddr style communist dictatorship. and i dont like the greens views on nuclear power but they might be the only one who can save germany from afd fascism and cdu family-values flavored petty authoritarianism.
if your definition of center right is fdp then get ready for even more corruption and corporate capture of everything that matters. privatized railways and utilities, anti union laws, unregulated pollution, stagnant wages and the rich getting richer. theres a reason its called the businessmans party.
from an outside pov it looks like there is no center right or center left party that cares about both civil rights and working/middle class economic interests. the only "reasonable" option is the radical left. if someone lives in germany and thinks im wrong please correct me.
I live in Germany and you are wrong. The last green government did a fantastic job with starting the desindustrialization of German economy. If it was up to them we would be living in medieval age. If anyone still votes for the greens, then need to go and get a mental check up.
Radical left is not the reasonable option. Time and time it was provides that radical leftist ideas never worked. DDR is the perfect example for that and that’s why the East German states vehemently reject the left. They have suffered and knows that it will not work again.
The way forward is a sensible progressive centrist government which makes the life of hard working people easier and people who abuse and try to live upon other peoples tax money a lives a living hell. The meaning of living is not paying taxes and working half of the year for the Finanzamt and for the freeloaders.
