Emancipatory left

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Emancipatory Left (Ema.Li) is a movement within the party Die Linke . It represents socially liberal , radical democratic and emancipatory standpoints. Freedom and socialism are therefore not a contradiction, but are mutually dependent. Compared to the other currents, the emancipatory left is discussing the conditions of a changed world of work, for example with approaches such as the unconditional basic income . The Ema.Li speaks out against a “socially conservative” policy as well as against anti-Semitic tendencies in parts of the Left Party and emphasizes the individual right to self-determination.

In contrast to the other currents, double memberships are expressly permitted.
