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
Wealth equality isn’t such a leftist point. I mean, leftists think it is but every decent liberal will be against for the fact that most of the wealth belongs to 1% of the people. It means the free market isn’t really working.
It was just an example, I wasn’t claiming that it is an exclusive talking point for the left.
But then you still would probably agree that an party which ignores such problems isn’t really leftist, nor liberal.
They are retarded. Period. Also people who think this will be solved with taxes, regulations, etc are part of the problem. Most regulations and taxes only help the rich. Regulations make harder for new and small businesses to grow bigger since they don’t have the means to comply with the regulations. Taxes usually break the social elevator, since at some point when you’re climbing they get so big you can’t really afford to keep growing richer and still pay them.
What we need? Less and more precise regulations that doesn’t cost a shitload of money to comply. Less and simpler taxation policies.
Germany is heavily left leaning and isn’t the most voted party (SPD) leftist?
