Germany: the youth, Die Linke and the class struggle

On 28 March, a devastating and massively destructive earthquake of magnitude 7.7 struck Myanmar with its epicenter just 10 kilometres below the surface, near Mandalay, the country’s second largest city.

The electoral success of left-wing Die Linke in Germany shows that there is a genuine desire among young people to fight against all the evils of capitalist society. Die Linke received 8.8 percent of the vote in the Bundestag elections and was thus able to celebrate a surprising comeback compared to its performance in recent years. It is now polling at 11 percent. It is the strongest party among young people. It even won the elections in Berlin.
