Here’s the funny part: the reasoning is that a Marxist standpoint supposedly subdivides people into classes, which is dehumanising.
The “junge Welt” is the only newspaper observed by the “Verfassungsschutz”, Germany’s secret service for internal security (which is notorious for being subverted by Nazis, like actual fucking Nazis, as well as their sympathisers like it’s former boss Hans-Georg Maaßen).
I don't remember when. I can infer from context that it was after the war, but would honestly like to know more specifically when this was.
January 1972, SPD Willy Brandt. De Jure against left- and right-extremism, de facto exclusively used against members of communist organisations and even antifa. Forbid extremists to hold any job in the public sector, like for example postalworker, teacher, trainservice worker.
Massive opposition led to it being removed 1985
Thank you!!
