At this point we have to contend with small wins like Die Linke getting almost 10% of the vote in Germany, Elon Musk getting bullied out of politics, and Carney winning in Canada.
Idk what you mean by that, the SPD was always centre left, at least since Bismarck times. Sure, they moved to be basically no-opinion-at-all centrism recently, but it is not like they were the shining sunshine of socialism before.
Maybe you are older than me. In the last ~20 years that I was old enough to understand the news, the SPD was always the center-left party and the Left/PDS the far left (for a non-fringe party) one. Fugging hell, my conservative grandma voted SPD because she dislikes Merz for his AfD bullshit back in January, and she is everything but left-wing.
I am not that old, but the social Democrats of old wanted e.g. a wealth tax and maximum income taxes that are much higher than today’s. I don’t have a long list of examples.
Unfortunately Musk didn’t get bullied out of politics, his office was always meant to expire at the beginning of May. He achieved what he set out to do: dismantling federal government completely to make deruglation, tax avoidance and corruption much easier.
This is just him doing the typical right wing martyrdom whining whenever somebody criticises them.

I won’t contend with small wins anymore. I want it all, heaven or hell
PEACE JUSTICE AND ANARCHY
Die Linke (Formel SPD) used to be close to a majority in our parents time.

The Die Linke of today is popular for the positions of the SPD of the past.
