Hi! Thanks for everything you've done on the "Left Party" page. One question: why did you remove the reference to the KPD in the list of predecessor parties? My intention in adding it was not to be POV: but legally, the Left Party is a successor of the KPD as it was reestablished in the Soviet Occupation Zone of Germany in 1945 and later merged with the east-SPD to form the SED. So there's legal continuity there, and even the post-communist members of the party claim at least a sentimental connection with the Weimar Republic KPD: thus, their participation in the annual "Luxemburg-Liebknecht" demonstrations in Berlin every January, the fact that their national headquarters is the original KPD headquarters (Karl Liebknecht Haus) in Berlin, etc. |
|||
I'm not challenging this because I don't think it's an important enough a factoid for the reader, but just curious. |

Thanks again for your contributions to the page. --[[User:Langohio|langohio]] 16:44, 30 August 2005 (UTC) |
