This was originally posted in r/TankieTheDeprogram by firefighter 430 (not the same image though). On reddit the ACP (American Communist Party) is infiltrating subreddits, and tried to infiltrate the tankie one too. Be aware that the ACP is not marxist nor are they communist. Pls stay safe everyone on lemmygrad.

    I wouldn’t call it an in depth Marxist analysis, but i wrote a few comments explaining my view of the BSW and its role in the present German political ecosystem here:

    The comparison with the ACP is not entirely wrong because they do share some of the same characteristics, but i think the similarities are also fairly superficial.

    For one thing, BSW is an actual serious political party, and the ACP just isn’t, they’re more like an online fanclub.

    Also, BSW doesn’t pretend to be communist. They don’t distort communism and lead new potential communists astray like the ACP. They are essentially just a socdem party.

    They fill the niche that was left open when Die Linke decided to turn itself into almost a clone of the Greens. If you’re interested here is my take on where Die Linke is currently at:

    I also don’t think the BSW will have much success, for reasons i explained here:
