Arguing its SED successor status 35 years after the end of the GDR is positively silly, especially considering it's only half right since the party is a fusion of PDS and WASG, the latter having no SED or GDR connection at all.

And from the people I know, the Moscow parts of Die Linke have in fact largely left for BSW. Some are a bit too pacifist about Ukraine, but that's about it in terms of alignment with Moscow.

[Ed.: if anything, the SED successor flag should be given to BSW I'd say, but even that's off the mark.]
