What needs to be completed by mentioning that WASG is the abbreviation of _electoral_ alternative for social justice (WahlAlternative für Soziale Gerechtigkeit) which did explicitly just aim at the electoral arena, and with that explicitly no different and more combative line for trade union policies. In the former GDR, the PDL (Partei "Die Linke") is more a party of petty and medium entrepreneurs than one of the working class. And many of the former GDR burocrats still accuse the working people for having them stolen their good living.
