    You’re right. “The Left” is a vague term and doesn’t apply here. I know such people and applied the video to them and as such it’s well done but the title and framing during the video is misleading.

      Yeah, if the video was less conflictory and was framed in a way that didn’t scream polarisation to me, I wouldn’t be as quick to dismiss it as a propaganda piece.

      As a side note, I’m actually surprised that Germany has such divide within the left.

        About the side note: There are different factors at play: nostalgia about GDR, Anti-Americanism and the peace movement (not sending weapons anywhere). And I was especially talking about the party “Die Linke” (The Left). Other parties like the Social Democrates and The Green (both part of the government) disagree on that.

        There are ML and tanky organistations outside of parliament. But I think the biggest organized left movement at the moment in Germany is the climate justice movement, which is very decentralized but I think most are against Russia. I might be biased though since I’m part of this movement.
