This is a flow chart from a leftist/socialist perspective
Then you have socialist governments wasting billions of the tax payer money to rescue shitty state owned companies. Look at Portugal with TAP and Efacec. Socialist party, billions of the tax payer money going down the drain. Those companies were partially or privately owned and the socialist party only rescued it to save these private owners investments.
Liberal economics would actually be telling them to go fuck themselves and give no money to them.
While this is true, most left leaning people still know how economy works and why it should keep on working.
Germany is considered heavily left leaning nowadays. Especially in comparison to countries like the US.
But that doesn’t mean that Germans are suddenly borderline communist.
But the population and therefore our government which get voted from them is more conservative.
And that’s not even calculating the swing to the right.
And the established far right networks our executive like police, military and intelligent services doesn’t give a picture of a left leaning country.
Germany had a good foundation, I give you that, but we have now decades of conservative governments who slowly undermined it.
So maybe left leaning if you compare it to an absolute monarchy, but if you differentiate and look closer, Germany is far from an left leaning country.
In the name sure.
In the party even are some left leaning politicians.
But the body of it and our Bundeskanzler, are more centrist than left.
The upholding of the status quo is more important for them than improving social situations and tackling leftist points like wealth inequality, so I personally wouldn’t call them left leaning
that’s not a left/right divide. it’s a right/further right divide. And even staunch conservatives follow (neo)liberal economics.

This comment will not go down well here, this site leans left pretty heavily and it’s easy to upset them lol

lol, who in their right mind considers germany as left leaning?
I am German. And Bernie sanders was even more konservative than us.
Probably, but considering Germany as a left-leaning country is still rich.
It sounds more like your perception of Germany is a little displaced from reality.
It for sure is not. Germany is a social democracy. One of the most advanced in Europe.
Therefore Germany is heavily left leaning.
I don’t know what you would call the left at this point… Communism?

Germany is heavily left leaning and isn’t the most voted party (SPD) leftist?
