Současný levicový politický extremismus v Německu
Contemporary Left-Wing Political Extremism in Germany

Summary/Abstract: Political scientists are in agreement about the fact that the current German political system might be in danger, particularly stemming from right-wing extremism. However, left-wing extremism should not go unnoticed, primarily for its anti-capitalist and revisionist features, use of violence, and persistently Marxist and Stalinist views of the world. Left-wing extremism in Germany falls into two main streams: a Marxist current drawing ideas from late 20th century Communism and anti-fascism, and an anarchist current. On the border of the democratic and extremist milieu is the PDS party, now “Die Linke” party, which belongs to the extremists due to its political program, but not due to its practical policy. However, its position is not clearly defined.
