I also noticed in the description of their party, that they support the federal minimum wage? is there no minimum wage laws in germany, or are they just local laws that differ from city to city?
There are federal minimum wages, they just want to raise them.
Their speeches and promises are ludecris, they keep promissing and promissing a socialistic utopia, but dont eaven deliver concepts describing how they want to achieve that goal.
They are totaly out of touch with reality - and almoust every single bill they propose, doesnt fail because of the oppostion to them, but because of reality.
I dont have that big of an objection to left-wingers in parlament who play by the rules of democracy and are aware of political reality - but these people are simply nuts.
Almoust every parlament in Europe has a right-wing-nationalist extremist group in parlament - only Germany has laft wing extremists in parlament - and that is them.

Yeah right. With Russia? Are you serious?
It could be because youre not so close to that place that you are not that well informed. It is a brutal dictatorship.
They exclude a whole bunch of nations - and scream arround in their speeches about american imperialism, british colonialism, french bourgoise, capitalist zionism and other as if it wasnt a parlament but the conference meeting of the sovjet comminist party.
The main issue with the left is, it`s the party which evolved out of the steaming pile of shit called the SED. The party which ruled the former east german communist dictatorship.
And it`s shamefull.
The idea that people who rejected democracy and who probably were eaven involved in human rights abuses, such as former stasi members and other - should have a say in a democracy - to me is repulsive.
The amnesty given to criminals of the former GDR regime was a big mistake - because it left us with these fuckheads who believe that they can still build up the berlin wall.
The connection between this party and russian politicians is easyly explained through looking at the ties these former (an maybe still) stasi\SED\communist scumbags had with soviet officials earlyer.
