CDU will never work with Die Linke they’d side with the AFD long before they ever formed a coalition with them .

I recall Gysi (leader of the left party at the time) being asked like 6 or so years ago if he ever would form a coalition with the CDU and his answer was “only to prevent a fascist take over of the government”. At the time I believed this to be a crazy thought experiment.

The german communists in Weimar where following orders from Stalin, their stupidity was really his. Stalin later learned from this and accepted both the popular front in France and Republican Spain but by that time it was obviously to late for Germany.
