A spectre is haunting Germany - the spectre of the left party passing the 5 percent hurdle in the upcoming Bundestag election. But how did things get so bad for the party and how are they turning it around? Long-time left-watcher and critical supporter Loren Balhorn explained the "Stalinist" roots of the "anti-deutsch", why the left is so white & middle class, and why he still has hope for a better society.
