Is it actually a new party? He's been saying similar things for ages

Disagree, I don't think any other "developed" country has a worse education system, and quite a few "developing / undeveloped" nations have better education outcomes

ok I have to ask, did you think the majority of humanity really lived in China?

Just don't ask St. Pauli supporters about Palestine

It's a very common misconception tbf, and I mean Union Berlin does have a reputation for being a sort of underdog club with a grassroots atmosphere / background. Still, it's not left wing

Beautiful badge too imo

Replied to another comment about this as well, but Union Berlin / its supporters are not left wing. If anything, they tend to be a bit to the right (although nominally they are apolitical).

Majority of the club is owned by fans

This is true of every club in Germany and is not indicative of its political leanings.

Union Berlin is not left wing at all, if anything its supporters tend more to the right

Finally a topic I know something about! This is something I've spent too much time researching the last few years. You've definitely got the major ones in your post but I'll add a few others that, at least, have antifa ultras:

  • Ternana Calcio (Italy)
  • Bronshoj BK (Denmark)
  • Clapton FC (England) and Clapton CFC (a breakaway club some fans formed)
  • FC United of Manchester (England)
  • AFC Liverpool (England. Bonus points for having by far the coolest badge)
  • Derry City FC (Ireland. Probably a somewhat controversial addition since their fans are not really explicitly leftist aligned, but they're strongly associated with Irish Republicanism.)
  • AEK Athens (Greece)
  • Virtus Verona (Italy)
  • Adana Demirspor (Turkey)

These are the ones off the top of my head. Italy generally seems to have the most clubs with strong political affiliations, especially compared to England.
