Join Mansa as she sits down with Comrade Philipp from our German group, Spartakist-Arbeiterpartei Deutschlands (SpAD), and supporter Toralf Endruweit, to discuss the political dynamics behind the recent German elections. Though the centre held, the AfD emerged as the clear victor in terms of doubling its support. Comrades explain what is fuelling this, why the left has it all upside down with Die Linke, and the tasks facing communists and the working class. Toralf shares his experience running as a candidate in Hamburg under the ticket of the Maoist MLPD, and the sentiment amongst workers regarding the left.
