Hi, this is a message (I am new, so please excuse if I chose the wrong place) about your "jungle world" article.

In your article you suggest that it is a radical left-wing paper. This is definitely not true.

Good parts of jungle world pretend to be far left, but actually: - supported and support "war on terror" since the days of Bush jr and the NATO-allies who fight these wars - hardly "leftist". - think climate change would be some "hoax" (Ivo Bozic, one of the - I think former - editors definitely thought so). Articles that are supposed to be funny and question science concerning climate changes are still appearing in the mag - today one, for example, by some Roland Röder. There are even similarities to be found what the far right german party "AfD" and jungle world think about the climate... Science is ridiculed, and the background of both is: climate change must be a hoax or "questionable", because we are for neoliberalism and western exploitation of oil, coal etc - it "gets us freedom". So jungle world has to fight the fact that around 500-700 millions of people - in the west - consume more than 50% of all ressources.... Hardly a "far left" kin of thinking. - The term "anti-german" - you won't find anything like it outside of Germany, and it is not too hard to learn why, the german atrocities 1933-45 and the Shoah are of course the background - is a blurred one. Nietzsche used it to fight the protestants he hated so much. Jungle world or Bahamas or others use it to shout "Bomber Harris, do it again". Jungle world is no leftist mag, but an uber-german mag pretending the "anti"-Germans were the "better Germans" because they fight the Germans (which of course are still all Nazis, in the view of Jungle world - just the few anti-german people are "good"^^). It is debatable if there is some guilt complex behind it. I have no answer to that. I come from a jewish family, and just can tell the about 80 or 100 self-declared "anti-Germans" I talked to, sometimes over weeks, did not share the least interest in the actual history of, for example, my family, and what the Nazis actually did to families like mine.

To sum it up - the german left was deeply weakened by those self-declared "anti-Germans" (since a few years they do not like this term as self-description any longer, mainly because it doesn't sound "cool" any longer, they think). Jungle world is not leftist, but for neoliberalism, for wars against many countries like Afghanistan, Irak, Libya and others, and they deny - a majority of them - climate changes. I suggest you'd think about that, it is puzzling for english-american speaking people to understand this specific german phenomenon. Jungle world is a part of that.

I think it would be sufficient if you added somewhere that jungle world, despite saying they were a "radical left" mag, in fact supports western neoliberalism, war on terror, and in parts (at least) denies or belittles global climate changes, and therefore 99,99% of all climate science.
