    You are just digging a bigger hole with every comment, adding more inconsequential arguments.

    Your original claim was that they are an SED clone. Which is just not true. That would also not make sense, given that we live in a vastly different time than the original Cold War era.

    BSW is a party that, for the moment, has way more presence in political talk shows than it does substance. They have a prominent ex-Linke face, they have ex-Linke members, but they also have nationalist and socially regressive views. Calling them left-wing is thus not particularly appropriate either.

    And just like CyberEgg, I absolutely don’t understand why you bring in all the arguments that don’t do anything for your case. E.g: Yes, BSW is popular in Eastern Germany. But that doesn’t mean they’re an SED clone or left-wing. It just means that a bunch of people in Eastern Germany voted for this weird cult.

    And for the record, none of that means that either CyberEgg or I like BSW.
