No, no, eco-socialism is alive and well. The new eco-taxes are a step in the right direction, and the coalition is reducing lots of the tax breaks for the big corporations (Germany's official 45% tax rate on corporate profits is actually much lower than this). My point is that the German Left is still thinking nationally instead of on a European level. Eco-taxes aren't enough, we need eco-spending, too.

You seem to dislike Gysi. Why? Did they refuse to throw Molotov cocktails into the Bundestag or something?
