Linksnet , a project of over 50 magazines, is a German-language website for politics and science. The aim of the cooperation project is to bundle the content of left-wing magazines and networks and make them permanently available on the Internet . Since some of the print editions of the magazines are out of print and articles are not always available on the Internet, Linksnet also sees itself as an archive that is used as a source of scientific literature and work, as well as in school education.

The project encompasses a spectrum of the political left in the environment of the parliamentary parties SPD , Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen and Die Linke . Some of the projects involved in Linksnet, such as “marx21” and the “Marxist papers”, are listed in the 2014 report on the protection of the constitution in the section on left-wing extremism .

By 2009, 40 journals (as of 09/2009) from Germany , Austria and Switzerland had published articles by authors on Linksnet. Contributions by individual authors are also published. At the end of 2009, over 4000 articles and reviews by over 2000 authors were available in full text on Linksnet.

history

Linksnet was founded in autumn 1999 on the initiative of Rainer Rilling , Kai Wagner, Markus Lauber and Gerd Siebecke. The project was from the very beginning by the club Linksnet e. V. and funded by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation . The portal went online in autumn 2000 , initially on the basis of a self-developed content management system , which was replaced by Drupal in 2008 .

In addition to articles from the print editions of the journals involved , a web directory was initially created based on the political link collection Science plus Politics by Rainer Rilling. Due to the editorial effort and the growth of the World Wide Web , the directory was discontinued in 2001.

At the end of 2003 Linksnet was expanded to include the Linkslog weblog , which failed to achieve its goal of becoming a political group blog of various left-wing directions. Linkslog was discontinued in December 2009.

subjects

According to Rainer Rilling, who himself was involved in the founding of the portal, “Articles on general questions of social and political development” play a prominent role in the portal's stock of articles. While it looks similar with the topics “Economy, War & Peace and International Relations”, “Gender and Feminism, Culture, Media and Communication as well as Ecology” are “essential, but much less present topics”. The founding actors “mostly belonged to the left, left-liberal or trade union field” and, in contrast to attempts from the left-wing radical scene such as Nadir, were “left-pluralistic”. The initial focus on “union proximity” and the lack of representation of “green and feminist positions” have been canceled out by the addition of further actors from other spectrums of the left. In the meantime, the spectrum represented by Linksnet is "closer to what is usually referred to as a mosaic link."
