  Linksruck: Germany: 'Unity' at the expense of the working class | The Socialist 11 - 17 May 2006
This has led to Linksruck arguing that, as fusion is the most important issue, it is necessary to stand in the Berlin elections in a list headed by one of the main architects of the city government's neo-liberal policies.
Linksruck leaders have endorsed a joint statement recently produced by the WASG national leadership and the Berlin L.PDS leadership.
Linksruck present this joint statement as a shift to the left by the L.PDS in Berlin.

 Germany: “Unity” at the expense of the working class
Linksruck's role in providing a 'left' face for the WASG leadership is amply illustrated for English speaking readers in an article, reprinted below, from the 6 May 2006 edition of “Socialist Worker”, the paper of the British SWP.
Linksruck like to quote Marx that “every step of a real movement is more important than a dozen programmes” in order to justify their abandonment of any serious political opposition to the WASG leadership on the basis that the fusion is the most important issue.
Linksruck may think that they are gaining influence, but influence won on the basis of keeping your mouth shut is completely unprincipled and very fragile.

 Germany: “Marx is Muss”
Linksruck may say that these are local problems that should not stand in the way of an all-German left party, but really they pose the question on what basis should a new left party be built.
Linksruck is asking working people in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern to vote, for the sake of the “bigger picture” of “left unity”, for leaders have and will attack their living standards.
Linksruck believes that it is not possible to be both part of broader movements and argue for socialist ideas.

 Socialism Today - The left in Germany
Linksruck argues that WASG and Linkspartei.PDS are two reformist parties and that the political differences exist within both parties.
Linksruck has been in the forefront of arguing that the WASG should only have a limited programme and not attempt to argue for a socialist alternative.
This is because Linksruck rejects the idea that it is possible for socialists to build a non-sectarian new party while proposing a transitional programme that links campaigning on the immediate issues that face working people with the need to argue for a socialist alternative.

 Police seek Black Bloc who brought mayhem to city [Free Republic]
Linksruck connects left-wing extremists from the anti-nuclear movement, the squatters’ community and student associations, giving them a less splintered identity.
Members of Linksruck support a “strategy of tension” — that is isolated violence which spurs such strong counter-measures from the police that popular sympathy swings behind the “revolutionaries”.
Linksruck claims that “socialism cannot be achieved by a small elite using the instruments of state, but only through the self-conscious activism of the working class”.

 Linksruck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Its origins lie in the Socialist Workers Group (Sozialistischen Arbeitergruppe (SAG)) which was founded in Germany by supporters of the International Socialists in the early 1970s.
Although this work was only possible after having left the Jusos with an already enlarged membership.
However in 2002 Linsruck suffered a serious split with the formation of Antikapitalistisches Netzwerk (Antikapitalistas), ostensibly over the anti-capitalist movement but exacerbated by an internal dispute over the alleged coverup by the party's leadership of a rape among the full-time staff of the group.

 In and Out of the German ISO
Signs of their relative left turn were the fact that the ISO openly rejected the so-called "Coalition for Work" between the government, the capitalists and the trade unions, while Linksruck had at first taken an unclear position on it.
As for the IS, while criticizing this blatant class collaboration in their paper, in their actual work (as at a big national trade union rally in Bonn) they focused on defending the trade union bureaucracy from an alleged attack by the government -- while there was nothing but collaboration in reality.
Also, in 1997 the ISO decided not to call for a vote for the SPD in the upcoming national elections, while both Linksruck and the IS, maintained the traditional Cliffite line, although they criticized the anti-working class policies of the SPD.

Volkhard Mosler, secretary of Frankfurt WASG and a leading figure in Linksruck, Christine Buchholz, a member of the national executive of WASG and a member of Linksruck and Maya Mosler, who was a delegate to WASG party congress, spoke to International Socialism about current debates in Germany.
Rosa Luxemburg took a different, correct position when she kept the Spartakusbund inside the Independent Social Democratic Party, saying we have to go through the experience with the masses and not be outside the process.
You yourselves, Linksruck, inside the WASG, always argued against the position of the Linkspartei-PDS senators who were in coalition with the SPD in Berlin.

I did not claim that Linksruck (the Socialist Workers Party’s German section) wrote the Aachener Appell: rather that it “is supporting the Aachener Appell” (Weekly Worker December 8 2005).
The appeal was - for a while - prominently displayed on the Linksruck website and a number of Linksruck members have signed it.
Linksruck comrades are also supporting the undemocratic campaign by the WASG leadership to force through a national membership ballot on the merger between both parties - which the leadership aims to complete before the members get the chance of a full and frank debate at the April party conference.

According to Christine Buchholz, a leading member of Linksruck and a member of the Wahlalternative national leadership, now working for the parliamentary fraction of the Linkspartei, this would be a provocation — to the PDS.
The danger is that this important section of the working class vanguard, open to serious debate on what a socialist programme means, will become deeply disillusioned and scattered.

The activities of the organs of the state in Duisburg show that any ‘critical’ trust in the SPD is wrong.
Left organisations such as Linksruck, Revolutionär-Sozialistischer Bund (RSB), Voran [German section of the Committee for a Workers' International (Socialist Party)], MLPD and others are undertaking the task of using pseudo-revolutionary phrases to catch those moving to the left and gradually lead them back to social-democracy.

 Socialism Today - Germany: on the way to a new workers' party?
While we regard it as the task of Marxists within WASG to argue for a socialist programme as an ideological answer to the prevailing Keynesian policies, other socialist groups do not bother to fight for socialist policies.
The German section of the SWP, Linksruck, for example, argues against a socialist programme for WASG, saying that socialist policies would render it ‘too narrow’ and that the party should base its programme on demands just for a redistribution of wealth.
But there is no question that important sections of the working class would find a socialist programme attractive, especially if it were linked to active campaigns led by WASG.
