on the effort for a FDJ revival in Germany:

The traditional heartland for this "FDJ" is Munich, in Bavaria,
i.e. West Germany, as the youth branch of the so-called "Arbeiterbund
für den Wiederaufbau der KPD" or "Workers League for the
reconstruction of the KPD", a stalinist group which had emerged in the
early 1970ies out of the radical students movement.

I must add that here in the East this group is regarded by most people,
including political activists in the PDS, as being rather eccentric and
notparticularly serious. At the recent anti-cuts demo in Berlin, the
first time I actually saw this group in the flesh, several members of my
delegation thought that they were a group of satirists.
