  • Someone already pointed out the individual parts, but to give a bit more context, every major party in the German Bundestag has government funded foundation to put out policy ideas and pamphlets/ideological positions. It is an attempt to have a publicly funded and institutional alternative to think tanks. The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation is the Left Party’s (die Linke) foundation. Just as a fun irony the SPD’s foundation is the Friedrich Ebert Foundation.

    Since die Linke is in such a dire state and might go through a split (I haven’t kept up to date with where things are currently) there is the possibility the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation might not continue to get public funding and might disappear.








  • I was listening to people reviewing the first season of HBO’s Rome, and what stuck with me is they pointed out that post-2016, the Pompey/Anti-Caesar faction seems like the most out of touch geriatric Democrats. Even if they are in the abstract on the right side, they are so dedicated to the status quo and can’t seem to understand that things have moved on, and people don’t believe in the forms or institutions anymore. So they are stuck defending institutions from the right and complaining about how Trump/Caesar is not following the norms.
