Young Struggle was founded in 2010. She sees herself as part of the "political class struggle " "in Germany. Areas of her work are anti-fascism , anti-imperialism , anti-capitalism and women's liberation , as well as ecology and work against repression .

The Office for the Protection of the Constitution puts the organization in close proximity to the Marksist Leninist Komünist Parti (MLKP), which is banned in Turkey . According to a report by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Young Struggle is an umbrella organization for all MLCP youth organizations in Europe. Around 60 young people from France, Great Britain, Germany, Austria and Switzerland took part in the founding congress in September 2010. According to the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the aim of the YS is "to win over the masses for changes and to prepare the youth for the upcoming struggles against the" capitalist system "". Young Struggle commented on this in a press release and protested there "[...] against any criminalization of the revolutionary and socialist movement."

Ivana Hoffmann was a member of the Duisburg local branch of Young Struggle until she went to Rojava (Syria) to go to war against IS in 2014 .
