Fundis - "Fundamentalists", a.k.a. the left wing of the Green Party. Used to consist of people from liberals that are not willing to enter coalitions with centre-right parties like the Christian Democratic Union or the Free Democratic Party, to Marxists, Anarchists and other people from the activist left of the 1980s. Nowadays, they're clearly on the defensive and all that remains of them are left liberals and socdems.
Realos - "Realists", the right wing of the Green Party. 🌐types. Clearly in control of the party for the last twenty years. The most pro-war faction in German politics.
ÖkoLink - "Ecological Left", an openly anticapitalist splinter group of the Green Party founded by Jutta Ditfurt in 1991 following dissatisfaction with developments inside of the Green Party. It's very small and its only success was consistently winning a seat in the Frankfurt City Council.
Jutta Ditfurt - Of aristocratic origin (TIL), she was one of the important people within the socialist wing of the Green Party before 1990 alongside Thomas Ebermann and Rainer Trampert. All three got purged from the party/quit and have nothing more than a small following among Antidetusche.
Antideutsche - Political current in the German far-left and it is quite an odd one. Formed from a split in the KB "Kommunistischer Bund" (small communist party from the 70s) in the late 80s as a reaction to what they saw as negative trends within the left, they got prominence in the early 90s. The annexation of the GDR caused a panic reaction in the west German left that the FRG was about to start doing imperialism and militarism again because of the special character of the German state post-1933. They gained prominence at the "Never Again Germany" protest in Frankfurt 1990 and was the strongest current in the radical left until about 2015-ish. Their main topics are criticism of antisemitism (to the point of praising Israel), anti-nationalism (and a fixation on praising the allied defeat of Nazi Germany and cheering on globalization and the homogenization of German culture), anti-fascism (most antifa groups are dominated by them), feminism (usually second wave, including TERFism), anti-religion and pro-"enlightenment", as well as a focus on Frankfurt School thinkers like Adorno or Herbert Marcuse.
Basically what the fascist conspiracy theory of cultural Marxism claims most leftists are. Antidetusche are divided between LADs and RADs (pronounced in english, because they're nerds) - LADs hold onto leftist ideology, anticapitalism, etc. while RADs are r/neoliberals.
Some of them became fascists in the early 2010s - Due to the heavily anti-religious fragment of their ideology, the Syrian refugee crisis and the "barbarism" of Islamic religion (yes they really call Muslims barbarians) they brought to Germany, as well as the right wing of antideutsche being already pretty lib, many found themselves quite comfortable in the emerging neofascist movement.
