I’m looking for some insight and opinions on the German communist parties, specifically the DKP and the MLPD. Thought u guys might know some stuff, especially the German comrades.

    I second this. The inside joke in communist circles in Germany is that the MLPD are a fed op. Might be true, might not, but they are definitely sus and i don’t see them doing anything productive. DKP on the other hand, as you say, are solid and worth supporting and organizing with. Their weekly paper Unsere Zeit is also usually worth reading, though i would probably rank them second behind Junge Welt as far as leftist publications in Germany go simply because the latter puts out more articles and has a bigger readership.

      Although I agree with both of you on the DKP being very solid overall I’ve heard some criticism of the “antimonopolistiche strategie”, especially that it leans into class compromise with the petty bourgeois. Not that it puts me off too much, especially since I’ve yet to form an informed opinion on it, but I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on it if you don’t mind elaborating, because I have yet to hear a good argument for or against it. Also tagging @Nalumixx@lemmygrad.ml if you have some thoughts of your own on this.
