Interventionistische Linke (IL, Interventionist Left) is a organization of the undogmatic left [de] in Germany. IL is active in climate justice, housing policy and healthcare policy.

IL tries to reach the center of society through broad alliances, for example with parties, unions and church groups, and primarily relies on civil disobedience as a form of protest. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution considers the IL to be left-wing extremist and is monitoring it.

The IL was founded in 2005 and first appeared in public with the mobilizations for the G8 summit in Heiligendamm in 2007. She is quiet active in the Ende Gelände campain. The organization is said to has about 1000 members in 30 local groups.

IL initiated anationwide campain called „Corona-vacine for everybody – Release the patents" and were struggling for remunicipalization of Pharma companys.[1]

Organization

[edit]

Most of the local groups were formed from all ready existing left groups. The local groups have working groups (AGs) that plan activities and implement them locally or regionally.

arranca! is the IL own magazine that appears every six months.[2] The editorial team of the newspaper analyse & kritik is close to the IL.

The iL is considered one of the two large groups of post-autonomists (Postautonome), alongside the "ums Ganze" ("all around") alliance, which comes more strongly from the Antifa movement.[3]
