List of left-wing socialist newspapers and magazines in West Germany

The list on the left socialist newspapers and magazines in West Germany includes the links socialism associated periodicals from the West German countries , which before reunification (even later and in a few cases) published.

According to their immanent logic, left socialist formations are located beyond social democratic and communist movements, but historically they are mostly positioned between the two main currents or on their fringes. Mostly left socialism was a separation from the social democratic milieu, but dissident left communism is its mirror image detachment from the communist world movement. For this reason, periodicals with a Trotskyist and Titoist character were added to the list.
