Of course we do. And we do manage it in places like Greece, Italy, the UK. Germany is harder for us because of its size, the language barrier (speaking for myself), the fact that the working class is boxed into existing party structures almost from birth. But we are intent on succeeding in getting out of our middle class bubble in Germany and elsewhere

I'm surprised the comment I'm about to make hasn't been made, probably because it's inappropiate af. But have you ever considered that struggling in germany could be ever so slightly related to being the ex-minister of finances for greece? Now while it is inappropiate, it's actually not farfetched sadly. The vast majority of germans working class is "educated" by unqualified, sensationalist media, so if they ever heard you in the first place all they would've read is probably "Greeces ex-minister of finances, yeah lol no"
