Everyone knows that the survival of the planet is at stake, including the deniers of the climate crisis.

Everyone knows that huge upheavals are to come. But who will make profits with what and who will jump over the blade? Everyone knows that the survival of the planet is at stake, including the deniers of the climate crisis. Everyone knows that huge upheavals are to come. But who will make profits with what and who will jump over the blade? How long will the fossil-fuel capital factions (coal, auto and defense companies) be able to continue until they either finance massive investments in their conversion or go under? Will they be able to pass on the cost of investment to employees and 'taxpayers', or will their profits be reduced? Are workers in fossil and traditional industries left alone with the risks? Do they have to pay for their training themselves? Will their children have a new chance and pursue other careers, as has been the case in the past? Who will pay for those whose countries are flooded first? Or will there be an effort as a whole to create a just transition for all, but above all for those who develop, secure and make possible the wealth of societies with their care work? These are the questions of the coming years. It is also our Fragen.In his book on history and, ultimately, the downfall of the Italian Communist Party, is to describe Lucio Magri as describing at least four dangers in which a left-wing party can fail: opportunism and adaptation, i.e. a lack of courage to Resistance. To sectarianism and the knowledge that representing the right positions is more important than making alliances with the actual forces and advancing them. Finally, if it is not prepared to face social upheavals. And a lack of inner solidarity. I believe that DIE LINKE is the only party that has an adequate response to the huge challenges of the climate crisis and the social upheavals. Now it is a matter of showing that we have enough internal solidarity to discuss the details, to argue and to come up with a common, courageous, resistant, social project, for which we are fighting together with all those who know that it is not so and who do not want to make those who always want to pay for it anyway. This strategy conference is part of this process. Hundreds of submissions from the centre of the party show: DIE LINKE is a committed and lively party, its members face the questions of the times, and with the desire for a solidarity-based, active party, in which the fun of the resistance and democratic forms go hand in hand. In my opinion, three lines can be identified in the many submissions: firstly, how do we bring together a social and ecological system change to a LINKEN project? Secondly, how do we become effective and how do we ask "the question of power"? Thirdly, what constitutes a unifying, welcoming, active and democratic party that is strong enough for the upheavals ahead? In the following, I present my proposal: neoliberal capitalism is reaching its limits. In the next few years, it will be a question of defending democracy against authoritarian capitalism and renewing its social basis. Only with a social and ecological change in the system can we create a better life for all. The climate crisis is unresolved, and new distributional struggles are imminent as the economy is restructured. Inequality and concentration of economic power and property are on the rise. The climate crisis and digitalisation will bring social shocks and new economic crises. There are aspirations from the capital factions and their political allies for authoritarian capitalism, as we are already seeing under Trump, Erdogan, Orban, and others. The danger from the right is not limited to the AfD. We already knew that parts of the CDU and the FDP are open to the right. But the election of a prime minister with votes from the AfD, CDU and FDP, the demands for an "expert government" that is also de facto based on the votes of the AfD, mark a break. While DIE LINKE relies on the collective wisdom of the many, and on the fact that people are the experts of their lives, the "expert government" is an old idea of the classics of neoliberalism. It unites anti-democrats
